ABSTRACT:
In sound recognition apparatus of the present invention, user's utterance or a sound provided by an output section using previously stored sound waveforms is simultaneously inputted through a basic microphone of known frequency characteristics and an input microphone of unknown frequency characteristics. An analysis section respectively analyzes the frequency of the input speech through the basic microphone and the input microphone. A frequency characteristics calculation section calculates first difference data between the frequencies of the input speech of the basic microphone and the input microphone, and calculates frequency characteristics of the input microphone according to the first difference data and the frequency characteristics of the basic microphone. A frequency characteristics correction section calculates second difference data between the frequency characteristics of the input microphone and known frequency characteristics of a dictionary data microphone, and corrects input speech to be recognized through the input microphone as speech data of the frequency characteristics of the dictionary data microphone according to the second difference data. A recognition section recognizes corrected speech data by referring to a recognition dictionary storing data previously created through the dictionary data microphone.
