Speech to Speech Translation for Nurse Patient Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
S-MINDS is a speech translation system, which allows an English speaker to communicate with a limited English proficiency speaker easily within a question-and-answer, interview-style format. It can handle dialogs in specific settings such as nurse-patient interaction, or medical triage. We have built and tested an English-Spanish system for enabling nurse-patient interaction in a number of domains in Kaiser Permanente achieving a total translation accuracy of 92.8% (for both English and Spanish). We will give an overview of the system as well as the quantitative and qualitatively system performance.
