ECTACO Voice Translator is an impressive electronic phrase book that comes with over 3200 phrases organized into 15 different categories. It boasts a built-in text-to-speech engine (TTS) and a voice recognition system that lets you either view the translation of a selected phrase on the screen or listen to it. You can even get your PDA or handheld computer to recognize and translate spoken sentences from one language to another.
Although the voice recognition feature is not yet perfect, it's surprisingly accurate at around 90-95% accuracy in relatively quiet environments. The user interface is attractive, convenient, and intuitive, allowing you to find the phrases you need quickly and easily.
The TTS feature is particularly useful for those looking to improve their pronunciation. ECTACO Voice Translator is an invaluable tool for travelers, with a phrase bank comprising carefully selected, commonly used expressions. It's much easier to use than a traditional dictionary, especially if you're just starting to learn a new language.
System requirements for ECTACO Voice Translator include an Intel ARM-206 SA1110 processor (available in Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada 56x, Casio E-200, MobilePro P300, Pocket PC e570, and similar devices), at least 4MB RAM or higher, and a Microsoft Pocket PC or higher operating system.
