Ectaco Releases English-Russian-Estonian Electronic Dictionary
Ectaco announces the release of its upgraded Partner EER430T made to order for Ersen Publishing House, an Estonian company. EER430T is an electronic English-Russian-Estonian dictionary. The device offers translation from/to Russian, English and Estonian. The device has all of the functions and capabilities of Ectaco's latest 400 Series of linguistic devices. The 400 Series products offer users a wide-range of functions. Each dictionary features:
- Options for new dictionary modules downloading from the Internet and personalized dictionary compiled by the user
- Tourist phrase bank in three languages
- Telephone directory
- Organizer functions
The 400 Series features has appealed to local dealers and distributors. Ersen Publishing House was among them. So the modern electronic dictionary with the wide range of functions was developed in less than six months. Commenting on the release of the new dictionary, Anton Epifanov, vice-president of Ectaco research and development, said: "Ectaco's 400 Series linguistic devices form an essentially new platform for development of customized electronic dictionaries. The "express development" concept stipulates low cost, high quality and short production time for every newly developed linguistic device regardless of the order volume. 400 Series caters for every kind of customer, even for cautious businesses. Customers can place a small, "pilot" order for the study of demand. If in the future they order more devices, the required amount will be supplied in the shortest possible time. Thus they achieve fast money return at minimal risks". Jim Dutch, Operational Manager of Ectaco, Inc., also commented upon the new dictionary release: "Six months ago after learning about 400 Series Ersen Publishing House managers turned to Ectaco for help in development of a linguistic device specifically tailored for the Estonian market. They found our development terms and high-quality linguistic databases attractive. As the result they received a small shipment of English-Estonian-Russian dictionaries. I have been in touch with Ersen Publishing House representatives from the moment they had placed the order for development and production of the Estonian dictionary. A short time ago the dictionaries arrived in Estonia and are available for sale now. Quoting an Ersen Publishing House executive, the preliminary sale result was a pleasant surprise. We hope for an additional order for the dictionaries. This is sure to be a sound decision. We can produce and deliver dictionaries in small shipments, as fast as they sell. This business is bound to be profitable. Now we are discussing business with more companies wishing to order devices based on 400 Series. Also note recent launching by Ectaco of a Living Language program tailored to the corporate customers' needs. Significant discounts are offered to members of this program, which makes ordering a customized modern dictionary even more profitable."
