Ectaco Partner EY800 - Yiddish - the language of Eastern European Jews is reborn.

Dec 15, 2006

The first English/Yiddish electronic dictionary, ECTACO Partner EY800 has been launched just before the coming Chanukah holidays by Ectaco Inc.

The ECTACO Partner EY800 hand-held electronic dictionary consists of a general dictionary with over 35,000 vocalized entries and over 1,000 professionally narrated Yiddish expressions and idioms. Built-in powerful memorization tools as well as the remarkable ability to recognize you’re the user’s voice - you simply speak a phrase into it and have it translated into Yiddish in real time – make the ECTACO Partner EY800 a full-featured language learning system.

"It is the first and only electronic device dedicated to the preservation of the Yiddish language as an important part of the Jewish heritage, says Ectaco CEO, David Lubinitsky. We wanted to facilitate the return to this important language for the younger generation. Only a decade ago many thought that Yiddish, which had been largely spoken by the older generation of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, had no future but an increased interest in the language in recent years proves the contrary. We hope that the unique device developed by Ectaco will give more people a chance to master the native language of their parents and grandparents."

Released as a part of a month-long sales campaign before the Chanukah Holidays, the new device is now available at www.ectaco.com at incredibly low introductory prices.
