Lingo 10 Talk Talking Electronic Language Translator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I carried the Lingo Talk 10 on a recent trip to Moscow and found it to be quite useful (in fact for me, a necessity). I had only a basic understanding of the Russian alphabet and knew some basic phrases and phrase segments and a hand full of words.
The Lingo's phonetic sub-titles below the Russian text helped tremendously in aiding in my pronounciation of the words I needed to effectively communicate.
The talking feature helped even more on some of those real Russian tounge twisters. I'd say if you're not real familiar with the alphabet and pronounciations, then a talking translator is the way to go. The sound quality on this one was adequate through the small on board speaker but it was even better through the ear buds supplied.
The Lingo Talk 10 is very reasonably priced (great prices can be found with just a bit of surfing), is easy to use, has a back light display, and volume control and seems to be of substantial quality. It's vocabulary isn't as great as I would have liked but adequate to get me through my week in Russia. I would suggest that for trade or business you also carry an additional dictionary with a greater vocabluary for the country in which you are working. Just the same for tourist and others just passing through, this is nice.
I would like to have a translator with the Lingo Talk 10's features that was just perhaps a tad bit smaller so that it would fit in my shirt pocket behind my glasses case, but this was small enough to fit in my inside jactet pocket without too much fuss. I know this works against my desire for a smaller size but I would also prefer that it use AA batteries instead of the AAA size as in some areas the AAA's may not be readily available.
Overall, I like mine and I'll have it with me on my next trip abroad. I keep it in my desk on top of my passport just to remind me that I'll need that too.
