Existing technologies like automatic text translation as well as speech input\/output can now be a seed for an innovative technology called speech-to-speech translation, where speech in a source language can be translated to speech in a target language.<\/p><p>Under the collaboration among 8 Asian countries; Thailand, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, China, India, and Singapore, in the name \u201cAsian Speech Translation Advance Research Consortium (A-STAR)\u201d, a network-based speech translation system has been developed. The system facilitates people to talk to each other by using their own mother-tongue language. Member countries set up basic speech translation components including automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) for their own languages, and statistical machine translation (SMT) between their languages to English or others. The prototype Internet-based engine links web services of such basic components, forming a speech translator for 8 languages plus English.<\/p><p>Client applications can be in many forms such as voice-interfaced instant messengers with a translation service, and a peer-to-peer software that helps translation between two languages. Although the current system has been built particularly for the travel domain, modification to other domains requires only the development of a domain-specific database. This happens to be useful in many application areas e.g. tourism, multi-cultural communication, social networking, international conference and business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-640d535 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"640d535\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/198.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20099\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/198.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/198-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf43735 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cf43735\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"234\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/199.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-20100\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/199.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.nectec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/199-300x219.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c72011b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c72011b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Key Features<\/h3><ul><li>Speech translation among 8 Asian languages (Thai, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Malay, and Hindi) and English<\/li><li>For the Thai-English pair developed by NECTEC, the system recognizes 14,000 Thai words and 21,000 English words in the travel domain.
