Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An automatic speech translation system selecting target language by direction of arrival information is proposed. The proposed system uses two microphones to detect speech signals arrived from a certain direction. Depending on the direction of arrival information, target language for speech recognition is selected. Both the speech detection and the language selection release users from operations that are required for each utterance. In speech recognition evaluation for the proposed system, 80% of word accuracy was achieved for utterances recorded with two microphones, which were 40cm distant from speaker position.
