Abstract :
ATR Interpreting Telecommunications Research Laboratories(ATR-ITL) was establish in 1993, aiming at the establishment of fundamental technologies for spontaneous speech translation. In order to overcome many phenomena which make spontaneous speech translation difficult, the authors are carrying out research on spontaneous speech recognition, prosody processing and synthesis of natural-sounding speech, language translation and system integration. Furthermore they are constructing a large-scale integrated speech and language database which will be used for analysis of acoustic and linguistic characteristics
