Ectaco PB-GM B-3 English-German Audio Phrasebook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title says it all - the display is pretty much illegible under day time or night conditions - you can adjust the contrast, but this only helps a little and the best contrast setting varies depending if you use the back light or not, or what the ambient light conditions are. So you have to enter the set up and change the contrast a lot, and it is still hard to read after playing with this adjustment. Worse display ever. Also, no real built in mic, so you either use earphones or hang this "thing" around your neck (the supplied portable speaker). What would be nice is an audible built in speaker so you could hold it up to your ear and hear the phrase pronounced, and then try speaking it yourself. Handwriting recognition was also terrible. I don't know how folks can say this is a good product - I guess its a matter of perspective.
