ECTACO Language Teacher ER586HT Partner wins the Design and Engineering Showcase Award 1999 from the Consumer Electronics Association (CES)

1999 was the breakthrough year for pocket translators. This is when it became clear for the first time that paper-based dictionaries and audio/visual courses for language study were truly a thing of the past. In their place a completely new product appeared offering incredible opportunities for language study. By 2006, the P800 series of products had appeared followed in 2007 by the remarkable iTRAVL series, which was in turn followed in 2008 by the advanced P850 series that has emerged as the most sophisticated tool for language study in the 21st century.

The predecessor of all theses remarkable devices was the ER586HT.
