Product Description

Just glide your Quicktionary II over a word or line of text, and the translation and definition instantly appears in the display window it's that simple! Now you can keep your focus on your reading material instead of searching through a paper dictionary. With Quicktionary II, you will immediately get the translation you need and can continue reading without losing your train of thought! Quicktionary II even helps expand your vocabulary. It retains the last 75 words scanned, thereby assisting you in actually learning the words and understanding the text. If you're left-handed, don't worry! Quicktionary II can be set for convenient left- or right-handed use. It is also designed to fit in your pocket and, at only 3 ounces, is much lighter than regular dictionaries. Quicktionary II recognizes over 300, 000 words and expressions and offers numerous language combinations. It reads a wide range of printed fonts and sizes, including inverted and hyphenated text. It even includes an OptiCard for entering words that you can't scan, such as street signs. Perfect for language students, ESL students, travelers, and people working in environments where various language skills are beneficial. The built-in voice provides immediate word for word or pronunciation of a single word, or line of text for you all at the touch of a button!

Customer Reviews

Reviewed on 2006-02-23 quicktionary II This scans so poorly that it is virtually worthless. There is also no place to store the protective tip (as on the back of a pen) which lessens its use as a portable device. Scanning is even worse in cramped spaces (airplanes, cafe seats) -- which is just where you might want to use this device. If you just scan an occasional unknown word, the device needs to be turned on each time -- as it turns itself off much too quickly. It has no advantages that I can think of over PDA type translators -- or even pocket dictionaries for that matter.

Reviewed on 2004-09-11 Good tool Keep in mind that the voice on all these pens is english, unlike what the names make it sound like. Apart from that, I think it's a good tool, I wish the Opticard was more easily obtainable (barcode sheet used to enter words manually because there is no keyboard).They could also improve on the screen navigation of long definitions.

Reviewed on 2002-08-27 Quicktionary II Pro: Does scan text well Con: translates one word at a time even though it scans a whole sentence. You have to figure out what the sentence means by piecing together the definitions of each individual word. This is difficult to do when you don't know the language you are trying to translate.
