  We present a new platform, "Regulus Lite", which supports rapid development
and web deployment of several types of phrasal speech translation systems using
a minimal formalism. A distinguishing feature is that most development work can
be performed directly by domain experts. We motivate the need for platforms of
this type and discuss three specific cases: medical speech translation,
speech-to-sign-language translation and voice questionnaires. We briefly
describe initial experiences in developing practical systems.
