This paper describes the BBN real-time recognition systems used in the 2004 Rich Transcription (RT) benchmark test for the English Conversational Telephone Speech (CTS) and Broadcast News (BN) tasks. We describe the system architecture, along withthe algorithms weused inorder to reduce computation with minimal impact on recognition accuracy. Particular choices in the design of thefinal system are analyzed toshow the trade-offs between speed and accuracy. We also present recently developed new architecture for the real-time systems, which outperforms the systems we submitted for the RT04 benchmark tests for both domains.
