Pronunciation of Words and Sentences

One of the most exciting features of ECTACO Partner

PW800 is the TTS (Text-to-

Speech) technology which allows you to listen to the pronunciation of words and

phrases in English and, if available, in the target language.

• To hear the displayed or highlighted headword pronounced, tap

or press the

key.

Note: Certain words have several variants of pronunciation. So the pronunciation of

the TTS engine and the given phonetic transcription may be different. In this case,

consider the variant given in the dictionary as the basic one.

• To hear the translation or explanation pronounced, highlight the desired portion of it

by using the stylus and then tap

or press the key.

TTS is able to generate the pronunciation of any text, not limited to dictionary entries.

Simply type a word or phrase in the WordNet Dictionary input field and then tap or

press the

key to listen to its pronunciation.

Note: The Volume option (found in the Settings application) allows you to adjust

speech volume.

Usage of ECTACO Speech Recognition System for

Foreign Language Studies

Our innovations in the field of automatic speech recognition have made it possible to

create this excellent educational tool. Available with your ECTACO Partner

PW800, it

will help you to easily master a foreign language.

First, you listen to a phrase recorded by a native foreign language speaker and then

pronounce it by yourself. Then the device compares the phrase you have spoken with

the prerecorded sample helping you to improve your pronunciation.

To take advantage of this advanced feature, please follow these steps:

• Turn the device on and navigate to the Main Menu.

• If you are using a model which features more than one language pair, tap

on the

toolbar and then select the target language you want to practice. Otherwise, skip this

step.

• In the Main Menu, tap the Phrasebook icon. The application will open.

• If necessary, change the source language by tapping

. The source language

should be your native tongue.

For easy reference, phrases in the Phrasebook are arranged by topic.

• To open the topics list, tap at the upper left of the screen.
