4 out of 5 stars Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus   November 2, 2008
D. Blackman (Massachusetts)
Nice, compact spelling aid for both student and adults alike. Especially useful in both the school and working environment when you need to check the spelling of a particular word or look for another way to say a certain word.


1 out of 5 stars Inferior Product   August 27, 2008
R. bentley (amherst ma)
I have a Wordmaster, also manufactured by Franklin. It's about 15 years old, and far superior to this Spelling Ace. I did a random test for synonyms, using the words "heard", "bury", "relish" and "wonder". br / br /The Spelling Ace produced a total of 19 synonyms for these 4 words. My 15-year-old Wordmaster gave me me a total of 80. br / br /I'm sorry I wasted my money on this product, but fortunately, I still have the old one


5 out of 5 stars A great spell checker!!   January 20, 2008
M. Badzinski (Sun Valley,NV USA)
The Franklyn spelling ace is really nice. It's much bigger than the others. I purchased it for my Father-in -Law because his was too small he had a hard time reading it. This one has a big read-out that you can see. The buttons are much bigger also. I liked the one I got him so much that I bought one myself. At first the buttons can be a little confusing. I've had to re-set mine 3 times. Now that I know what I'm doing it works great!! The one problem I see is that there is an = sign on the enter key if you push that when you are looking up a word, it blanks out. You have to push it on the left side of the enter, not on the whole bar because it will go blank it will have to be re-set. What I also really like is after you find the correct spelling it will tell you what the word means. It truly is a great little spell checker!!


4 out of 5 stars Very happy with purchase   December 28, 2007

I bought this item for playing scrabble and it is very good for that, but it is hard to get it out of game mode. The instructions are not clear either. I am happy with it though. It may be a user problem on my end.


4 out of 5 stars Amazon couldn't get the order right!   December 23, 2007

I ordered a model SA-206 Spelling Ace and received an SA-209. I called to try to get the mixup corrected and was told that I would have to take care of it on line. I went to the online return system and half-way through it decided that it wasn't worth the trouble and logged off. The system took my "half-way" efforts and made a duplicate shipment (corrected?). Yes, I got another SA-209. I called again and was told that I would receive an email on the next day with details concerning availability and how to correct the now-duplicated wrong order. I never heard from anyone. I decided to keep both units and will certainly be charged for both; but now I have two more gifts for under the Christmas tree.
