Eutrans: a speech-to-speech translator prototype

U T RANS : a Speech - to - Speech Translator Prototype

EUTRANS system is a telephone speech input translation prototype capable of translating telephone calls from one language to another. It assumes a human to human communication , each one speaking a different language, assisted by a system with translation capabilities. The prototype has been developed as a demonstrator for the Eu-ropean project with the same name. EUTRANS achieves a response ti...

EuTrans: Speech to Speech Translation Prototype

EUTRANS project: FUB activity in Spoken Machine Translation

In this paper we report on the ongoing activity for the project ESPRIT LTR EuTrans during the first year. Issues for the Fondazione Ugo Bordoni (FUB) have been the prototype implementation, the text and speech data collection and the usability assessment. The corpus has two main objectives: to provide training material for recognition and translation training; to contain speech material for aco...

Using Corpora to Develop Limited-Domain Speech Translation Systems

The paper describes the Spoken Language Translator (SLT) system, a prototype automatic speech translator. SLT is currently capable of translating spoken English queries in the domain of air travel planning into either Swedish or French, using a vocabulary of about 1200 words. We present an overview of the system's architecture, concentrating on how rationally constructed balanced corpora are us...
