NY Based Ectaco, Inc. and Sweden’s Anoto Group team up to create an unsurpassed opportunity for instant global understanding.

Jun 15, 2007

NY Based handheld electronic company Ectaco, Inc. today announced that it has teamed up with Sweden’s Anoto Group to release a handheld solution for multi-lingual data entry and translation. With the announcement of the ECTACO C-Pen Deluxe Pack, mobile data entry has become easier, more effective and is now available to translate between English and French, Italian, Polish, Spanish and Russian.

A robust combination of Anoto Group’s C-Pen portable scanner, LingvoSoft Talking Dictionary and LingvoSoft Talking Translator applications, the new product lets anyone grab text from curved, laminated and patterned surfaces as well as from magazines, books and wall-posters by simply waving the C-Pen over the desired text. Translating a single word or an entire text, the award-winning LingvoSoft applications then speak the translation out loud using the latest text-to-speech modules. Taking advantage of the unique opportunities that easy data input from virtually unlimited sources provided by a portable scanner, with the power of the most sophisticated and functional translation software adds up to something no other company in the world provides – universal understanding.

Equally useful for study, travel or business, it can be used anywhere there is text that needs to be translated. As Ectaco CEO, David Lubinitsky explained, “There are so many times when we encounter foreign language text that it is imperative to understand. In many cases it is impractical to translate this text due to the inaccessibility of its format. With the C-Pen Deluxe Pack text from medicine bottles, instruction manuals, and foreign language product packaging can be scanned and translated instantly. The combination of handheld scanning capabilities and instant translation make the C-Pen Deluxe Pack unique in the world of handheld translation and greatly improves the ability of everyone to understand a foreign language.”

Using the precision craftsmanship of the Anoto Group’s C-Pen scanner, everyone can now capture text and send it to almost any application on a Windows enabled desktop or laptop PC. And this is where the award-winning power of LingvoSoft designers and programmers takes over. By avoiding the mistakes that come with manual data entry and transcription, C-Pen Deluxe Pack assures accuracy for virtually limitless translation opportunities from LingvoSoft. And by providing users with a way to understand just about every kind of written text they encounter, Ectaco and the Anoto Group have made navigating the world the easy and enjoyable experience it was always meant to be.
