ECTACO Releases the New 2-Way and 9-Language Communication System with Fodor's Travel Guide
The only hands-free/eyes-free 2-way communication system is now available for travelers.
NEW YORK, July 16 - Ectaco, Inc. (http://www.ectaco.com/) 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 the most comprehensive travel guide for 50 major destinations on 5 continents.
Poised to make the life of anyone who travels for business or pleasure much more convenient and 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. iTRAVL NTL-9C now allows travelers to communicate thoroughly in a multitude of languages without the assistance of a human translator. The new iTRAVL series affords users the ability to manipulate the interface without using their hands or taking their eyes off of their subjects. "English speaking people can input anything they want to say into iTRAVL device now and have it repeated for them in the target language," said Ectaco CEO David Lubinitsky. Language Teacher, an audio-visual language learning tool has been implemented into iTRAVL to enable users the ability to learn to speak languages independent of electronic devices or translators. "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 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 can provide significant communications support for multilingual populations. Based on proprietary Speech Recognition, Speech Analysis and voice output technology, a built-in Language Teacher system provide an extremely short learning curve in language learning before the user can actually speak and understand the foreign language. Ectaco iTRAVL NTL-9C main features include: 2-way full text translation system from English to Chinese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian Spanish and vice versa; 1,600,000 words audiovisual dictionary - including general words, idioms, medical technical, legal, 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, 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 charging can be accomplished by connecting units via mini-USB to any PC or notebook. A pen-scanner for numerous languages and a video camera will be available soon.
