ABSTRACT:
An analyzing unit 1 converts an input speech into a feature vector time series. A reference pattern storing unit 3 stores the feature vector time series obtained by the same manner as in the analyzing unit. A matching unit 2 correlates for time axis the input speech feature vector time series and the reference patterns to one another. An environmental adapting unit 4 performs the environmental adaptation between the input speech feature vector time series and the reference patterns according to the result of matching in the matching unit 2. A speaker adapting unit 6 performs the adaptation concerning the speaker between the environmentally adapted reference patterns from the environmental adapting unit 4 and the input speech feature vector time series.
