Towards an automatic dictation system for translators : the TransTalk project / Marc Dymetman [and five others].: Co28-1/119-1994E-PDF ; Co28-1/119-1994E
"Professional translators often dictate their translations orally and have them typed afterwards. The TransTalk project aims at automating the second part of this process. Its originality as a dictation system lies in the fact that both the acoustic signal produced by the translator and the source text under translation are made available to the system. Probable translations of the source text can be predicted and these predictions used to help the speech recognition system in its lexical choices. We present the results of the first prototype, which show a marked improvement in the performance of the speech recognition task when translation predictions are taken into account"--Abstract, page 1.
