The new Diract Voice avalanche transceiver from Ortovox, which was awarded “Product of the Year” in the Snowsports category at ISPO Munich 2021 Online and voted Best Product of the Year by the ISPO Open Innovation Community, is now available in stores. So are its slimmed-down sister model, Diract, and the accompanying Ortovox App. The Diract Voice is described as the world’s first avalanche transceiver with voice navigation. It is supposed to guide the searcher reliably and quickly to the buried victim with clear and distinct voice commands in an emergency. The design is logically reduced with only one control button, an extra-large display and a handy toggle switch to move between transmit and search mode. The device can even be used with gloves. The Diract model is technically identical but does not feature voice navigation. The suggested retail prices of the devices are €330 (Diract Voice) and €280 (Diract).
