RANS : a Speech - to - Speech Translator Prototype
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 time close to real time for speaker-independent, medium complexity tasks (a few thousand words) and offers competitive accuracy. The acoustic, language and translation models are finite-state networks that are automatically learnt form training samples, this makes the system easily adaptable to news tasks. It runs on a standard PC with audio capability and a cheap modem. The system is currently available for two translation tasks: FUB task (Italian-English) and Traveler task (Spanish-English).

متن کاملUsing 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...
متن کاملRapid development of an Afrikaans-English speech-to-speech translator
In this paper we investigate the rapid deployment of a twoway Afrikaans to English Speech-to-Speech Translation system. We discuss the approaches and amount of work involved to port a system to a new language pair, i.e. the steps required to rapidly adapt ASR, MT and TTS component to Afrikaans under limited time and data constraints. The resulting system represents the first prototype built for...
متن کاملA Limited-Domain English to Japanese Medical Speech Translator
We argue that verbal patient diagnosis is a promising application for limited-domain speech translation, and describe an architecture designed for this type of task which represents a compromise between principled linguistics-based processing on the one hand and efficient phrasal translation on the other. We propose to demonstrate a prototype system instantiating this architecture, which has be...
