The RESPITE industrial partners are developing demonstrator systems to pull-through the new techniques towards commercial systems.

Daimler-Chrysler are building an off-line evaluation demonstrator which will produce comparative results for RESPITE technology within the same system. They have already incorporated multi-stream and tandem recognition. Tandem gives a substantial improvement, as shown by the recognition accuracies obtained on the Aurora 99 evaluation task shown in the table below:

System	SNR 0	SNR 10	SNR 20	Clean	Average
HTK Baseline	39.3	7.1	2.3	1.4	12.6
DC Baseline	31.2	7.9	2.3	1.4	12.6
DC Tandem	21.4	2.4	0.8	0.9	6.4

Babel are building a modular platform which will enable other partners to add their software into an on-line small-vocabulary recognition system. The intention is to add visualisation facilities at each stage, so that we demonstrate how the system works, rather than just what it does.
