Abstract
A portable electronic dictionary and language interpreter comprises an input device for simultaneously entering at least two different words in a first language, a translator for causing retrieval for equivalents for the at least two different words, and a voice synthesizer for speaking the at least two different words in the first language in the form of synthesized sounds, respectively. The pronouncing of both or either of the at least two different words in the first language can be selectively repeated in response to an actuation of a repeat key switch. The translated word or words now indicated in a display can be replaced by the input word or words once indicated in the same display.
