the product i ordered was everything i wanted in a dictionary for my trip to the Ukraine this fall. it is easy to see the screen and to use all areas of the Partner ER800 dictionary. it is fast and easy to translate from russian to english and quick to change from english to russian also. the text to text translator along with the text to speech feature works very nice for my needs and is fast enough to keep the conversation from becoming stagnant on a date.. i also like the other features it has too. i have tried other E-translators and have had some troubles that sometimes can be embarrassing. this one will make me feel i can speak the language with a lady that speaks only russian, and give us the chance to be alone and still have communication without a human translator with us..
Just a quick note to let you know how helpful the ER 800 was on my recent trip. I travelled to the Ukraine twice and all over Russia. Even though I'm a very experienced traveler I have no idea what I would have done without it,especially in Siberia.
Thanks again for all your efforts to provide me with a working model in a very short time.
I've recommended that my company purchase units for all employees going to foreign countries. Hopefully you'll be hearing from Twin Disc, Inc.

Dear Friends! Many thanks for the fine products made by your company! Every new release lifts your product to higher and higher technical and aesthetic levels. My new partner ER800 seems so 'alive' that it is almost possible to hold a conversation with it! It is certainly more than simply a high-tech gadget. First of all, it is my friend - a friend that is always present and available, so unlike the experience of our everyday lives. I have never studied English before and you have helped me to solve this problem in as short a time as possible. Many thanks to you, my real friends - so needed and appreciated! Yours truly, Vladimir Egorov (Birmingham, USA)
The ER800 is a wonderful tool. If you know little or no Russian, the PhraseBook is a great help in communicating basic information....The talking dictionary is very large too. It covers most any word you need. The talking feature means you can correctly pronounce a word, even if you can not read Russian text. Enjoy using the ER800 to enrich your communications with your beloved!

I met my wife over the internet. Writing emails back and forth was easy enough, but when it came to the first visit to Russia, I brought along my ER800, and it helped to make our relationship happen, Thanx! :)
