This study presents an overview of VoiceTra, which was developed by NICT and released as the world's first network-based multilingual speech-to-speech translation system for smartphones, and describes in detail its multilingual speech recognition, its multilingual translation, and its multilingual speech synthesis in regards to field experiments. We show the effects of system updates using the data collected from field experiments to improve our acoustic and language models.
