Equipped with Windows Embeddedtechnology, SoftEcho will dramatically improve the call quality for mobilemanufacturers and softphones running the Windows Mobile operating system,particularly evident when in hands-free mode.
 While many vendors try to bundle features to make their echo cancellation solutionmore desirable, our efforts are focused on improving call clarity, said FabioGambacorta, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Octasic.  There is a cleardifference between products utilizing SoftEcho for Mobile Phones and those thatdonÂ't.Â
OctasicÂ's algorithm results in seamless transition from handset to speaker mode withno tweaking required. SoftEchoÂ's unique auto-tuning feature allows the product toadjust to any set-up, be it speaker, handset, or Bluetooth.
