• Resumen

  • This article describes how technologies needed to fully automate inter- pretation work. It assesses the performance of existing technologies and compa- res them to the work of human conference interpreters. The article goes on to evaluate the problems to be encountered at every step of a spoken language translation system: speech recognition, machine translation and speech synthe- sis.
