At Spoken, we've developed an interactive, speech-to-speech machine translation system called Converser™ that
  • accepts spoken, handwritten, and typed input,
  • provides multimodal feedback on how the system understands the input,
  • provides tools for the user to actively direct the system's semantic processing,
  • and translates between English and Spanish.
