iPod - Rambler Interactive Audio Foreign Language Phrase Books
FAIRFAX, Va., December 5—CyraKnow today launched its new Rambler audio phrase books created specifically for iPod-savvy travelers. The Fairfax-based company designed the four Rambler audio phrase books in French, German, Italian and Spanish specifically for iPod use with the intent of helping new and seasoned travelers learn the nuances of pronunciation and basic phrases for each language in a short period of time.
The Rambler audio phrase books are priced at $12.95 separately, and $34.95 for all four languages. Each phrase book includes over 900 words and phrases recorded by a native speaker in French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as a printable PDF of popular sites and attractions for major cities in each country. Each language is interactive and organized into categories such as travel, food, and lodging to make the search process easier, and is designed to help travelers find the word or phrase they need through two clicks on their iPods. Each phrase book varies in size, and the largest is 80MB. Rambler is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2, Windows 2000 or XP, iPod (dock connector and click wheel models), iPod mini or iPod nano.
“The world is becoming a smaller place, and more and more Americans are traveling abroad either for business, study or pleasure,” CyraKnow Co-founder Jeffrey Gonsalves said. “Rambler enables travelers to pick-up the basic words and phrases of a foreign language quickly so they can navigate their way around a country and communicate with their colleagues. Getting off the beaten path and mixing with the locals just became a whole lot easier.”
CyraKnow is a subsidiary of J Squared Innovations, Inc., a multimedia group located in Fairfax, Va. CyraKnow was founded by Jeff Carns and Jeffrey Gonsalves in January 2005. Rambler is the first foreign language tool for travelers designed by the company. For more information about CyraKnow and the new Rambler audio phrase books, visit www.CyraKnow-audio.com.
