Abstract(in English) This paper introduces a speech-to-speech translation system using mobile devices as user terminals. Instead of packing every component in one device, we adopted server-client architecture, where main tasks of speech translation are done on PC-servers. The current system is implemented for travel conversation but it can handle other domains simply by replacing its linguistic database. In order to deal with noises in real environment, we developed a portable microphone array system that significantly improves speech recognition accuracy. The paper also reports monitor experiments using the speech-to-speech translation system carried out at Kansai international airport etc.
