    Kay, Martin, Jean Mark Gawron, and Peter Norvig VERBMOBIL: A TRANSLATION SYSTEM FOR FACE-TO-FACE DIALOG CSLI Publications 1994 viii, 235 pp. Natural Language Processing US $17.95 (paper) $49.95 (cloth) ISBN 0-937073-95-4 (paper), 0-937073-96-2 (cloth) Distributed by The University of Chicago Press (1-800-621-2736) The "Verbmobil" system would input speech in a source language dialogue, translate it, and output synthesized speech in a target language, all in real time under the conditions of face-to-face dialogue. This book is an assessment of the state of the art of the speech recognition and machine translation fields, and a frank discussion of the challenges the developers of such a system face.
