Abstract

The paper describes research activities of ETRI in multi lingual spontaneous speech translation. We have developed a Korean to English, Korean to Japanese speech translation system prototype that includes a 5,000 word spontaneous Korean speech recognizer, Korean-English and Korean-Japanese translators, and a Korean speech synthesizer with spontaneous prosody in a travel planning task. We utilize multimedia communication to increase the performance of the spoken language translation system
