ABSTRACT:
A speech recognition apparatus includes a first-candidate selecting unit that selects a recognition result of a first speech from first recognition candidates based on likelihood of the first recognition candidates; a second-candidate selecting unit that extracts recognition candidates of a object word contained in the first speech and recognition candidates of a clue word from second recognition candidates, acquires the relevance ratio associated with the semantic relation between the extracted recognition candidates of the object word and the extracted recognition candidates of the clue word, and selects a recognition result of the second speech based on the acquired relevance ratio; a correction-portion identifying unit that identifies a portion corresponding to the object word in the first speech; and a correcting unit that corrects the word on identified portion.
