Customized Multilingual Communication Provided with SpeechGuard

Ectaco announces free customization of the SpeechGuard PD-4. Using technology developed for the U.S. military, the SpeechGuard PD-4 has been modified to help first responders and others in law enforcement communicate with victims or others who do not speak English.

The SpeechGuard PD-4 is a handheld translator that comes preloaded with thousands of the most common phrases used in the line of duty by law enforcement professionals. Police officers have immediate access to dozens of languages anytime and anywhere.

Most departments cannot afford to have translators on staff, and officers struggle to communicate with non-English speaking civilians.

Since the founding of the company in 1990, six generations of translators and dictionaries that include more than 50 languages have been developed.
