ECTACO, INC. Delivers Two New Multilingual Communication Devices Just in Time for the Holidays

Just ahead of the holiday shopping rush, NY based high-tech firm Ectaco, Inc. delivers what promises to be the must have item for this year.

Long Island City, NY (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- Known for releasing the most sophisticated and respected handheld translation devices in the world, industry leader Ectaco, Inc. has just made communicating in foreign languages easier than it has ever been. Where most companies are content with offering simple bi-directional translations Ectaco, Inc. outclasses the competition with their remarkable range of multilingual devices. The P800 series has already won the highest praise from both from industry experts and users alike and now seems set to surpass even the most skeptical users’ wildest imagination. Each complete with 15 language pairs the all-new E15K800 (www.ectaco.com/ECTACO-E15K800/) and E15T800 (www.ectaco.com/ECTACO-E15T800/) equip users with one single device to travel the globe.

Able to translate between a whole host of languages, these extremely smart handhelds are the only devices in the world to feature a combination of state-of-the art speaker independent speech recognition with real human voice output and the latest TTS text-to-speech technology. A real powerhouse, the new devices feature more than 10,000,000 words in their award-winning translating dictionaries and over 210,000 travel-related phrases in their exhaustive phrasebooks.

Ectaco CEO, David Lubinitsky has said, “Our stated mission is to be pioneers in the field of handheld translation technology. That means that we are constantly looking for ways to improve the ability of our customers to communicate in as many languages as possible. Never before has it been so easy to speak so many languages. With the new multilingual P800 devices we have outdone even ourselves and we think that anyone lucky enough to own one of these new devices is sure to agree.”

Depending on the model, they are able to translate between Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, English, Farsi, French, German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian and Vietnamese as well as providing an English/English resource with almost 70,000 words. Designed to be an all-purpose language management solution, they are sure to be appreciated by students, businesspeople and travelers alike. Set to be the star at the upcoming CES in Las Vegas, the new devices are already creating quite a stir among consumers and developers alike.

“There really is nothing else on the market even remotely like the new P800 devices,” says David Lubinitsky. “They are the only handhelds in the world to contain such combinations of languages and the ability to understand the user’s voice lets them recognize what is said in 16 different languages. Combine that with real human voice output in the phrasebook and you have a personal translator that can be used from the boardroom to the supermarket. Anyone who is serious about using foreign languages simply must have this device.”
