Abstract
A portable electronic dictionary and language interpreter includes a control circuit for conducting retrieval of one or more full-length words on the basis of a non full-length form entered by an input device. The one or more complete words are preliminarily stored in a memory such as a read-only memory (ROM). The control circuit is activated by a search key provided on the main frame of the portable device. According to the repetition of the actuation of the search key, a plurality of full-length words are successively developed from the memory and then indicated in a display. In another form of the present invention, another type of search key may be provided so that the plurality of full-length words can be successively developed and then indicated.
