This paper overviews the speech recognition issues for the Japanese language, and introduces three research projects conducted at NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) Human Interface Laboratories and ATR Interpreting Telephony Research Laboratories. The first topic is stochastic language models for the sequences of Japanese characters to be used in a Japanese dictation system with unlimited vocabulary. The second topic is an accurate and efficient algorithm for very-large-vocabulary continuous speech recognition based on an HMM-LR algorithm. This algorithm was applied to a telephone directory assistance system that recognizes spontaneous speech having a vocabulary size of roughly 80000. The third topic is a continuous speech recognition system based on strategies of the phoneme-context-dependent (allophonic) modeling and parsing.<>
