The main reason we bought this translator is that it included Tagalog Filipino....But, once we got it, we discovered that it doesn't have the talking option in Tagalog, only in English and Chinese????..................and when we asked to return it via online, we were told that all sales are final and they wouldn't allow us to return the translator.....Because of those two elements I don't recommend purchasing anyone purchase this product from 11Translator, VERY DECEIVING PRACTICE.
This is a pretty solid dictionary. It will allow a beginner to intermediate English or Tagalog speaker to effectively survive in a foreign country. While it is not up to par with some of the more advanced dictionaries, it does serve a purpose.
I have been studying Tagalog for a couple years at the University. I plan on heading to The Philippines to study more, for a year duration. I needed an electronic dictionary to help me out. The interesting thing about Tagalog/Chinese, is that there are so many characters (Kanji) that even native speakers do not know all the meanings/readings/writings! Nearly everyone I talked to says they carry around an electronic dictionary in case they run into a character they do not recognize.
This dictionary is small enough to fit in your pocket. It eliminates the need to carry around a heavy and cumbersome bound-volume dictionary.
It can be used by native English speakers heading to The Philippines, or native Tagalog speakers heading to an English speaking country. My friend works in a restaurant in Washington D.C... she has seen many Tagalog customers come in using this model dictionary. It is very helpful in this situation, as the dictionary provides pronunciation (audio feedback) on the English words. This is where pronunciation is needed, due to the vast amounts of irregularities in the English language. This is good for those learning to speak English.
The vocabulary is obviously not as extensive as more expensive models. But it has enough to get you through most tasks. There are lists of common questions/comments in various situations: At the airport, in a restaurant, walking the streets, etc.
There are a lot of 'extra' features on this dictionary. These include: foreign currency converter, calculators, clocks/alarms, calenders and schedulers.
They key thing that differentiates this electronic dictionary from others I looked at is the price. The newer dictionaries run $300-$400+. This is a lot of money to put into a small electronic item that can easily be lost.
This dictionary also comes with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty.
PROS: - Inexpensive. - Good for a beginner/intermediate learner of either Tagalog or English. - Spell checker allows you easy location of words you can't spell. - Manual is in English and Tagalog (some other models just have one or the other). - 'Extra Features'. - Phrases for common situations.
CONS: - Not as many words as the more expensive models. - Can have some 'false' definitions (these are present in all electronic dictionaries I have used due to the ambiguities arising from translating Tagalog to English
Conclusion: Overall, this is a good dictionary. If you are a beginner/intermediate student of Tagalog or English and are planning on traveling to a foreign country, you will need to pick up an electronic dictionary. This model, should be your choice if you don't have a ton of money to spend, or if you have a tendency to misplace small electronics ;) There ARE better models (some Canons) - hence the 4 star rating - but they are all in a much higher price range (~$400+)

I bought this for my recent trip to the Phillipines and I speak very little Tagalog so this came in quite handy to translate for me. It's a simple device, nothing too complex, and gives the average traveler (like myself) the ability to communicate while out seeing the sites. I did appreciate the little extras here, like the foreign currency converter, that did come in quite handy and many common phrases and questions are listed in here which really made asking where the bathroom was, etc. very easy for me to do. I like to travel without any kind of guide, I'm more of the adventurer type who likes to take it at my own pace and for that, this guide was much better than carrying around a couple pocket dictionaries to help me understand and it works fast, which is probably the best feature this has.
Overall, I found this idea for basic conversation and simple communication and would say it's ideal for a traveler, but if you plan to spend more than a few weeks here, you might want to look into something more extensive, but for the casual visitor, this is perfectly fine.
You really cannot beat the value for the price. Similar models in the same price range do not work as well as this one based on my personal comparisons done at a store. My favorite is usually the top of the line but this one will do just fine for the casual traveler.
It certainly is small enough to make it easy to carry around. The English talking function is great when you are not sure of pronunciation and the best feature. This was especially helpful for my girlfriend that doesn't speak much English. The intuitive keypad makes it a breeze to use without instructions over the higher end models. Another plus is pretty good translations. They even include features I have never used (alarm, world time, conversions and ability to make a contact list) that make it look like they thought of everything.
Bottom line, it can easily replace the small phrase books and provides the extra bonus of speaking the phrases in English for you. Instead of taking a couple of phrase books (if you are going to more then one place on your vacation like a cruise) - then this little gem will become your best friend.
