The third International Workshop on Spoken Languages Technologies for Under-resourced Languages (SLTU'12) will be held at the Monkey Valley Resort (near Cape Town, South Africa, http://www.monkeyvalleyresort.com) on 7-9 May 2012.

The workshop will focus on spoken language processing for under-resourced languages and aims at gathering researchers working on:

• ASR, synthesis and translation for under-resourced languages
• Portability issues
• Multilingual spoken language processing
• Fast resource acquisition (speech, text, lexicons, parallel corpora)
• Applications of spoken language technologies for under-resourced languages
• Other related topics

Original research papers in any of these areas are hereby invited – details are available on the Paper Submission page.
