JANUS-II is a research system to design and test components of speech-to-speech translation systems as well as a research prototype for such a system. We focus on two aspects of the system: (1) the new features of the speech recognition component JANUS-SR, and (2) the end-to-end performance of JANUS-II, including a comparison of two machine translation strategies used for JANUS-MT (PHOENIX and GLR*).
