Abstract

We present a distributed environment (Sim*) for collecting multilingual spoken dialogues through a Wizard of Oz scheme. These speech corpora are then used to build an automatic Speech Translation system. In the future Sim* should develop to offer full support for any combination of resources between human interpreters and automatic Speech Translation systems, in a multimodal and distributed context.

Keywords  Multilingual Dialogue - Spoken Language Translation - Interpreter Simulation - Wizard or Oz - Client/Server.
