Product Review
The DBE-1490 is slightly larger than the DBE-1440A and DBE-1450. They have the same thickness and length, but the width is about 3/4-inch longer. The dimensions (my measurement) are 5-1/8 inches x 3-7/8 inches and 3/8 inch thick.
The Franklin DBE-1490 also contains the Merriam-Webster Dictionary with more than 274,000 English word definitions. A phonetic spelling correction feature lets you enter words phonetically. Also included are grammar guides and quizzes, verb conjugations, and word lists for help with correct usage. Games and learning exercises help you keep your language skills sharp; a crossword puzzle solver helps you when you get stuck in a crossword puzzle. The Franklin DBE-1490 Spanish-English dictionary runs on two CR-2032 batteries (included).
It is the perfect companion for the business person working often with Spanish-speaking clients, or for the student learning the basics. The DBE-1490 puts 5,000,000 translations at your fingertips, including conversational phrases and along with 4,000 examples of word usage. A large eight-line screen displays all the information clearly, reducing strain on the eyes, and a protective lid is included to prevent scratches.
