Dictionary
ECTACO iTRAVL TL-2 contains one of the most advanced
electronic dictionaries available on the market.
Note:
The
Dictionary
contains not only general vocabulary and
technical terms but also slang. You can hide it using the
Slang
Lock
function in the S
etup
section. To disable

• In the
Main Menu
, select
Dictionary
.
• To translate or explain a word, start entering it from the on-
screen keyboard.
Note:
The MorphoFinder™ function helps you find source words
for past participles, gerunds, plural forms, and, if applicable, for
adjective forms. For example, if you enter "distributes" you will
get "distribute" as there is no translation or explanation for
"distributes" because it is a form of "distribute".
• If the desired word had appeared before you finished typing,
select it (tap the corresponding line, or make sure it is highlighted
and press
Recognize
) to see its translation(s).
Pronunciation of Words and Sentences
One of the most exciting features of ECTACO iTRAVL TL-2 is the
TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology which allows you to listen to
the pronunciation of words and phrases in English and other
language(s), if available.
• To hear the displayed or highlighted headword pronounced, tap
or press the
Say
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 pronounced, highlight the desired
portion of it by using the stylus and then tap
or press the
Say
key.
