ABSTRACT:
A voice recognition estimating apparatus for a voice recognition apparatus, including a voice data property generator that generates properties of voice data used to determine, based on an estimation item, a feature of synthetic voice data. The estimation item is used to estimate a performance of the voice recognition apparatus. The voice data property generator includes an acquisition unit that acquires vocabulary data and unnecessary word data as the estimation item. The unnecessary word data indicates an unnecessary word inserted in the vocabulary data and an insertion position of the unnecessary word. The voice data property generator also includes a generator that generates the properties of the voice data. The properties of the voice data include selected voice quality data items, the vocabulary data and the unnecessary word data.
