Abstract

Speech-to-speech translation (S2S) technology holds out the promise of allowing spoken communication across language barriers. Recently, there has been a great deal of progress in S2S technology, much of it under the sponsorship of DARPA's TransTac program. In this paper, we present BBN's S2S system, "TransTalk", whose development has been funded under the TransTac program. We also present various performance metrics, and the result of detailed performance analyses, using the TransTalk system.
