Abstract
--------
We describe a system designed for use by professional translators
that enables them to dictate their translation. Because the speech
recognizer has access to the source text as well as the spoken
translation, a statistical translation model can guide recognition.
This can be done in many different ways - which is best?
We discuss the experiments that led to integration of the translation
model in a way that improves BOTH speed AND performance.
