Abstract
This paper describes the SpexKit framework for the development of spoken dialogue systems, which is currently used to implement prototypes of a bilingual city information system. We sketch the overall architecture of this speech platform, its dialogue manager and its scripting language, as well as the integration of speech technology components like ASR or TTS systems.
This research has been supported by research grant MSM 235200005.
