Custom Solutions: Advancing Language through Advanced Technology
Over the past several years, Voxtec® has painstakingly researched and created a library of vital phrases that help users in several industries control important situations through clear and effective communication. As a result, Voxtec’s translation systems are in active use in military, law enforcement, corrections, emergency medical response and construction applications.
But the technology behind our industry-leading solutions is a by-product of our main passion: Fielding reliable translation systems that equip our users to take on the growing language barriers of today with an eye towards the challenges of tomorrow. That pursuit has led us to help customers develop custom language modules that meet very specific needs. The results can be powerful enough to transform the way cultures interact – and may even help revitalize entire languages.

Native Language Revitalization
Voxtec® is working with a not for profit organization, Wind Talkers United, to distribute and support its Phraselator® P2 Language Companion™ (PLC), a handheld language translation and revitalization system across the United States and Canada.
Wind Talkers United will work side-by-side fluent Native speakers to create and record custom language modules in their Native language, which will then be stored and accessed from the PLC. Wind Talkers United will provide on-site training and support to Native language teachers and speakers in widespread areas of American and Canadian Native communities. They will record among the last Native speakers of each language. With the PLC, tribes retain full control over the recorded language content within their own communities. Wind Talkers United will provide the training and tools to create and manage their own recordings for use on the PLC.
To date, more than 90 tribes and Indian organizations are using Voxtec's PLC. While, not all-inclusive, the list below highlights some recent client's:
- Comanche Tribe
- Cherokee Tribe
- Cheyenne Tribe
- Pechanga Tribe
- Nakota Tribe
"It (the PLC) is the most flexible and sophisticated language tool ever developed. It is a virtual language program in the palm of your hand."
