Abstract

This paper describes the first showcase of the NESPOLE! system. NESPOLE! is a speech-to-speech machine translation system designed to provide fully functional speech-to-speech capabilities within real-world settings of common users involved in e-commerce applications. The project is a collaboration between three European research laboratories (IRST in Trento, Italy; ISL at Universität Karlsruhe (TH) in Germany; and CLIPS at Université Joseph Fourier in Grenoble, France), one US research group (ISL at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA) and two industrial partners (APT; Trento, Italy - the Trentino provincial tourism board, and Aethra; Ancona, Italy - a tele-communications company). The project is funded jointly by the European Commission and the US' NSF.
