Abstract: For years speech translation has focused on the recognition and translation of discourses in limited domains, such as hotel reservations or scheduling tasks. Only recently research projects have been started to tackle the problem of open domain speech recognition and translation of complex tasks such as lectures and speeches.

Starting from a translation system for European parliamentary plenary sessions and a lecture speech recognition system we show how both components perform in unison on speech translation of lectures
