MedSLT
MedSLT is a medium-ranged open source spoken language translator developed by the University of Geneva and is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The system has been designed for the medical domain. It currently covers the doctor patient diagnosis dialogues for the domains of headache, chest and abdominal pain in English, French, Japanese, Spanish, Catalan and Arabic.
The vocabulary used ranges from 350 to 1000 words depending on the domain and language pair.〔http://www.issco.unige.ch/en/research/projects/medslt/about.html〕
== Motivation for creating MedSLT ==
With more than 6000 languages worldwide language barriers become an increasing problem for healthcare. The lack of medical interpreters can lead to disastrous consequences. These range from prolonged hospital stays to wrong diagnosis and medication. A study found that only about half of the 23 million people with limited proficiency in English in the United States had been provided with a medical interpreter.
Millions of refugees and immigrants worldwide face similar problems, although not always as severe . The gap between need and availability of language services might be closed with Speech Translation systems.〔("Many-to-Many Multilingual Medical Speech Translation on a PDA" ) by P. Bouillon, G.
