GlobalEnglish Releases GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro™ Mobile Business Language App for Non-Native English Speaking Professionals
GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro provides on-the-go Enterprise Fluency with easy access to the definition, correct pronunciation and translation of industry vocabulary and company-specific jargon and acronyms to and from English and 34 different languages
GlobalEnglish Corporation (www.GlobalEnglish.com), a leading provider of on-demand software to advance Enterprise Fluency™ for global organizations, today announced it has extended the ability for global professionals to enhance productivity on the job and improve Business English prowess while away from their desktops. The new GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro mobile business app, an integrated component of the GlobalEnglish Suite™, provides mobile and browser-based access to relevant business terms and vocabulary anywhere, anytime. It lets non-native English speakers create more effective, high-quality business communications and improve Business English performance using browsers or the most popular mobile devices, including iPhones and Android smartphones.
GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro helps apply Business English to real work, embracing the professional world of presentations, emails and business negotiations by covering terminology related to key functions, such as marketing and finance, as well as industry sectors, such as banking and pharmaceuticals. As an add-on to the free app GlobalEnglish LinGo™, which provides definitions, correct pronunciation and translations to and from English and 34 different languages, GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro provides comprehensive lists of commonly-used business vocabulary by industry sector and popular topics as well as customized, company-specific words, acronyms and jargon.
The new mobile business app lets subscribers record and play back their voices to increase their accuracy and proficiency compared to native language pronunciation using its Hear/Say function. It integrates with other components of the GlobalEnglish Suite including GlobalEnglish Bloom™, a new global collaboration software product, and allows new words to be added and automatically synched up through the GlobalEnglish Edge™ solution using its My Word Lists feature to further customize the experience for different employees at multinational companies.
"Global professionals are frequently on the move today as they visit customers, partners or distributed team members around the world," said Tom Kahl, GlobalEnglish President. "The new GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro mobile business app lets them be more productive and effective using the global language of business, in addition to honing Business English proficiency on the go. If salespeople or executives need an industry-specific term to use during a presentation, meeting or conference call, for example, they can find it quickly using our new mobile business app."
Since mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations are occurring more frequently, it's increasingly difficult to onboard new employees in a standardized way across a globally-dispersed workforce. Due to this real-world challenge, GlobalEnglish has developed a centralized way to share and update company-specific business language of most importance across a particular organization- including acronyms, mission-critical phrases and company jargon. This new capability enables faster on-boarding of new employees around the globe, especially non-native English speakers who can now easily translate and hear the words in 34 different languages so they more quickly grasp the business vocabulary they need to do their jobs better.
Using GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro, subscribers have the flexibility to hear male and female pronunciations in U.S., British or Indian English and the ability to find challenging, saved or missed words without going through entire language exercises. Because of its advanced text to speech functionality, GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro lets subscribers highlight words or phrases within documents and hear them pronounced correctly out loud. They can use flash cards to practice Business English vocabulary that matters most to them. Through its integration with other products in the GlobalEnglish Suite, the new mobile business app helps increase employee productivity, maximize the ROI of language training and decrease duplicated effort. Wherever global professionals are on the spectrum of Business English skills, GlobalEnglish LinGo Pro can give them the help they need at the very moment they need it.
