The SpeeData project aims at developing a demonstrator that provides a user-friendly interface for spoken data-entry in two languages: Italian and German. A real world application domain is considered, which is the Land Register of an Italian region in which both languages are o cially spoken. Original topics of this paper are the interaction modality for spoken data-entry, the evaluation of a data-entry system, bilingual speech recognition, bilingual speaker adaptation.
