ECTACO Releases a New 2-Way and 9-Language Communication System with Fodor's Travel Guide
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 25, 2007 -- Ectaco, Inc. today announced the release of their new 2-way and 9-language communication system iTRAVL NTL-9C -- the first hands free/eyes free speech recognition device with an incredibly comprehensive travel guide for 50 major destinations on 5 continents.
Here to make the life of anyone who travels for business or pleasure not only more convenient but also more enjoyable, Ectaco has provided something that anyone who has ever tried to speak in a foreign language will instantly recognize as the ultimate solution to international communication.
The all-new iTRAVL NTL-9C now allows travelers to communicate thoroughly in a multitude of languages without the assistance of a human translator. The revolutionary iTRAVL series provides users with the ability to navigate the user-friendly interface without using their hands or taking their eyes off of their subjects. "English speaking people can now input anything they want to say into iTRAVL device and have it repeated back in the language of their choice," said Ectaco CEO David Lubinitsky.
Including Language Teacher, an audio-visual language learning system that has been incorporated into iTRAVL, the device lets anyone learn to speak another language independently and effectively. "Now everyone can deal with emergencies, speak to business partners and find the nearest restaurant as easily as they do in their own language," adds Mr. Lubinitsky. "Those that have beta-tested the new iTRAVL have been overwhelmed by how quickly they learned basic phrases and commands beyond English."
Unlike dictionaries and other paper-based grammar resources whose level of interactivity is limited to the reader turning a page, iTRAVL puts a massive amount of linguistic capability in users hands accessed via a powerful user-friendly interface that makes it an effective way to navigate and learn a foreign language.
iTRAVL technology provides significant communication support for multilingual populations. Based on proprietary Speech Recognition, Speech Analysis and voice output technology, a built-in Language Teacher system provides an extremely short learning curve before the user can actually speak and understand a foreign language. The main features of the Ectaco iTRAVL NTL-9C include: 2-way full text translation system from English to Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian Spanish and vice versa; 1,600,000 word audio-visual dictionary that includes general vocabulary, idioms, medical, technical, legal, and business terms, as well as slang and useful expressions.
The inclusion of additional travel resources like the world-famous Fodor's Travel Guide, CIA World Factbook, Audio PhraseBooks, an audio player for Mp3 files, calendar/planner, voice recorder, and other travel necessities offers a truly astonishing look at the future of international travel. Updates and battery recharges can be accomplished by connecting units via mini-USB to any PC or laptop. A pen-scanner for numerous languages and a video camera will be available soon.
ECTACO, Inc., is a New York based company that specialized in multilingual global communication solutions, with more than 17 years of experience, 18 offices and millions of satisfied customers.
