Multi-lingual and Multi-modal Speech Processing and Applications

Over the last decade voice technologies for telephony and embedded solutions became much more mature, resulting in applications providing mobile access to digital information from anywhere. Both a growing demand for voice driven applications in many languages and the need for improved usability and user experience now drives the exploration of multi-lingual speech processing techniques for recognition, synthesis and conversational dialog management. In this overview article we discuss our recent activities on multi-lingual voice technologies and describe the benefits of multi-lingual modeling for the creation of multimodal mobile and telephony applications.
