Abstract

A system and method for speech-to-speech conversion for providing spoken responses to speech inputs in at least two natural languages wherein speech inputs are recognised and interpreted in said at least two languages. The recognised speech inputs are evaluated to determine the language of the speech inputs, and a dialogue is undertaken with a database containing speech information data, in said at least two natural languages, to obtain data for the formulation of spoken responses to the speech inputs. The speech information data, obtained from the database, is then converted into spoken responses which exhibit the language characteristics of the respective speech inputs.
