The authors present a multilingual application for speech technology. The SpeeData project aims at building a demonstrator that provides a user-friendly interface for spoken data-entry in two languages: Italian and German. The application domain is the land register of an Italian region in which both languages are officially spoken. The considered data-entry task is particularly challenging as it considers many different types of data-e.g. long texts, numbers, proper names, tables, etc.-and a variety of of pronunciations, since dialects are present and users will not always speak in their native language.
