ECTACO was founded in autumn of 1989 in New York, USA, by David Lubaynitsky, who was born in Saint Petersburg. The company was functioning at that time mainly as a reseller of electronic dictionaries of other manufacturers. In 1990 ECTACO started to develop its own hardware and software.

The first electronic dictionaries of ECTACO supported translation between Russian ↔ English, Polish ↔ English and later German ↔ English language pairs.
