On the front lines when it comes to helping those in need and providing the assistance that can make the difference between life and death, emergency workers are often hindered by the miscommunication that may arise between the people they are trying to help. In a profession where seconds count, waiting for an interpreter to arrive is rarely a viable option. Created specifically for the emergency response community, the ECTACO Medical, Fire & Rescue SpeechGuard MD-5 addresses these problems by providing a way to communicate instantly without any knowledge of a foreign language. The MD-5 understands thousands of medical, fire and rescue phrases spoken in English, and is capable of pronouncing the translations back to those you are trying to help in any language you choose. Able to contain more than 20 languages, you decide which languages you need in the unit. Then, by simply speaking into the device in English, this hands free/eyes free operational unit produces 100% understandable translations spoken by profession native-speakers. Now you have the assistance YOU need to make the right decision and provide the help that saves lives.
