چکیده
An interpreting telephone system, or a speech translation system, will solve this problem which has been annoying human-being from the beginning of their history. The first effort was made by NEC; they demonstrated a system in Telecom'83 held in Geneva. In 1987, British Telecom Research Laboratories implemented an experimental system which was based on fixed phrase translation [Stentiford]. At Carnegie-Mellon University (CMU), a speech translation system was developed on doctor patient domain in 1988 [Saitoh]. These systems were small and simple, but showed the possibility of speech translation.

متن کاملA Japanese-to-English speech translation system: ATR-MATRIX
We have built a new speech translation system called ATR-MATRIX (ATR's Multilingual Automatic Translation System for Information Exchange). This system can recognize natural Japanese utterances such as those used in daily life, translate them into English and output synthesized speech. This system is running on a workstation or a high-end PC and achieves nearly real-time processing. The current...
