Popis:	In this paper we describe SARA, a multimodal dialogue system offering touristic assistance for visitors coming to Singapore. The system is implemented as an Android mobile phone application and provides information about local attractions, restaurants, sightseeing, direction and transportation services. SARA is able to detect the user’s location on a map by using a GPS integrated module and accordingly can provide real-time orientation and direction help. To communicate with SARA users can use speech, text or scanned QR code. Input/output modalities for SARA include natural language in form of speech or text. A short video about the main features of our Android application can be seen at: http://vimeo.com/91620644. Currently, the system supports only English, but we are working towards a multi-lingual input/output support. For test purposes we also created a web version of SARA that can be tested for Chinese and English text input/output at: http://iris.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/StatTour/.
