摘要：Automatic interpretation of human speech into different languages is difficult as it involves problems of speech recognition and synthesis as well as machine translation. Although several hand-held devices have been developed to provide pre-recorded spoken phrases, only a few are capable of uttering phrases with unrestricted dialog, and these are often limited to a few languages. This paper describes a new, portable prototype incorporating readily available free or commercial software that interprets between English and 20 different languages. A test of the system with German and Spanish shows relatively accurate results.
