Lingo Voyager 2 Talking Translator (TTV-2) Review

I bought this device hoping that it would be a bit more comprehensive than it turned out to be, but I will mention the following;



PROS:

1.This device is very easy to use.

2.It's small.

3.All of the languages are easy to read on the screen.

4.The Input Method for the Asian languages is well done.

5.Lots of useful phrases are included.

5.The pronunciation is actually helpful, and can easily be turned off.



CONS:

1.Not enough entries for a serious language student.

2.No part of speech is indicated.

3.No conjugations are indicated.

4.Chinese Input Method only allows one character at a time (i.e. You have to type in "guo" first and select the "" character then type "shi" and select the "" character to get the definition "fruit" instead of just typing in "guo3shi2" with tone numbers). I think this is probably preferable for travelers trying to figure out new words, but it can slow things down somewhat if you are used to typing in Microsoft IME.
