This is a well designed easy to operate translator. It will cover 95% of what you need being a tourist. The only flaw I see in this machine is not being able to enter your own sentences, but that might be a flaw in all machines, so I would bring a dictionary for those times. Good voice quality and volume. I will bring a set of watch batteries with me on the trip as I don't know about the availability of those batteries in Europe.
Great buy

Simple, small, hopefully useful for travel. Took awhile to program it but what doesn't these days.

I bought this device for my boss who is taking his wife to Paris. They have traveled alot to Italy, but never to Paris. My boss is what you would call "Technology Challenged" so I wanted to get him something that he could figure out pretty easily. He played around with it for a couple of hours and feels that he knows how to use it quite well. He is very happy to have it since he does not speak French at all.
Easy to use and lots of functionality

I recently purchased the talking translator and it's been great so far. I really like the compact size - it easily fits in a pocket and it isn't bulky to carry when traveling. I've also really enjoyed all the features such as the backlight which can be turned on or off and the headphone jack for when you want to listen to the translation without bugging everyone around you. I think my favorite feature is the category buttons such as Hotel, Restaurants, etc. which makes it easy to find the phrases you need.
