Client-Server Speech Translation System ATR-MATRIX

Abstract:We describe the implementation of a client-server-based speech translation system. To minimize the bandwidth problem, input speech data is preprocessed and compressed and then sent to the recognition server. For synthesizing the translated utterance we implemented a variety of approaches requiring between 256 kbps for high quality speech down to less than 1 kBps for unit information. The client was implemented for Windows95/98, Linux and OSF1. The system was also tested using a 9.6 kBps mobile telephone data connection.
