Portable electronic dictionary

2006-11-29 Wed 08:00

According to a survey, people only use English-Japanese, Japanese-English and Japanese dictionary with a portable electronic dictionary containing many kinds of dictionaries and additional functions.

First of all, most people use online dictionaries such as Yahoo dictionary on PC, but some people carry a portable electronic dictionary because it can be used anywhere without PC.

The most popular portable electronic dictionary is Casio's. I also have a Casio. But I seldom need to look up the words outside of my office and home. I usually use software of dictionary on my PC. When I need to check the word outside, I can access Yahoo dictionary with my mobile phone. The only purpose of my using a portable electronic dictionary is to explain Japanese food (especially fish) and Japanese culture to my foreign clients at dinner. Therefore, I only use Japanese-English dictionary.

Although you may be happy when you buy a portable electronic dictionary with various dictionaries, the use is actually limited, I think.
