A new handheld multilingual speech-to-speech translator to be unveiled by ECTACO at READY!(Conference and Exposition in Washington, D.C., July 28-29, 2004)
New York, NY- July 7, 2004 - ECTACO, Inc. will unveil its new handheld speech-to-speech multilingual translator - SpeechGuard at READY! (The Emergency Preparedness and Response Conference and Exposition. Washington, D.C. Convention Center, July 28-29, 2004). SpeechGuard, partially developed under a DARPA grant for innovative global communication technology, is on the cutting edge of a new generation of products striving to bring down the language barrier. As a speech-to-speech multilingual translator, SpeechGuard allows a military, security or law enforcement officer to issue commands, transmit important information or ask questions in any of 50+ languages selected. It works very simply: you speak English - SpeechGuard speaks the language of your choice. A special "linguistic triage" module for efficient handling of emergency situations is intended for medical, military, security, and police personnel as well as other first responders, rescue and recovery specialists. It can be further customized by the user and by the manufacturer to fit the specific needs of a particular application. SpeechGuard is more than a translation device. It is strategically positioned as a professional productivity tool, emulating and optimizing standard methods and procedures for ultimate effectiveness and policy compliance. SpeechGuard is a next-generation indispensable tool for anyone on a military, security or law enforcement mission, whether routine like delivering a Miranda warning or demanding like high-risk antiterrorist activities. At the time of escalating global interdependence and the mounting challenges it presents, both domestically and overseas, the need for effective cross-lingual communication tools is becoming ever so urgent. Says Ectaco's CEO David Lubinitsky: "We at Ectaco are confident that SpeechGuard is going to foster cross-lingual understanding and meet the challenges of international strife sweeping the world in its absence. We intend to take this product to the top of its league, making it most advanced technologically and most responsive to real-life needs. This is our vision for SpeechGuard and we are fully committed to it." At the show there will be live SpeechGuard demonstrations. Ectaco-affiliated police beta-testers will be on hand for Q&A.
