ECTACO Voice Translator is an electronic phrase book offering over 3200 phrases in 15 categories. With a TTS engine and voice recognition system integrated, it enables fast and efficient translation between languages.
Thanks to the built-in Text-to-Speech engine (TTS) and Voice Recognition System, you can view the translated version of a selected phrase on the screen, listen to it or even get your PDA or handheld device to recognize sentences spoken in one language and say them back in another! However, it is worth noting that voice recognition technology is still not as precise as it could be - this feature is more of a toy than a serious instrument.
But even in relatively quiet environments, the accuracy of recognition is around 90-95%, which is impressive given the current technology limitations. The interface for the ECTACO Voice Translator is attractive, convenient and intuitive, making it easy to find the phrase you need quickly. The TTS feature also allows you to learn how to pronounce the phrases you use correctly.
This device is a very useful tool for anyone traveling abroad. The phrase bank is filled with commonly used and carefully selected expressions in the languages it supports. It's also much easier to use than a traditional dictionary, especially if you are just beginning to study the language.
System requirements for this product include a 4MB or more RAM, Intel ARM-206 SA1110 processor (found in Compaq iPAQ, HP Jornada 56x, Casio E-200, MobilePro P300, Pocket PC e570, and alike), and Microsoft Pocket PC or higher operating system.
