The components are speech recognition, speech centered translation and speech synthesis. The project is aimed to be launched as an integrated project in the 6th framework of the European Commission. To prepare TC-STAR a preparatory action TC-STAR_P has been launched to set up the infrastructure of TCSTAR. For further preparation the EU-funded project LC-STAR has been started to standardize and to create some corpora and lexica needed for all speech to speech translation components.
