Abstract
Speech data is input from a speech capture unit. External data including vocabulary information is read from an external data acquisition unit. A speech recognition unit makes speech recognition of the speech data using the vocabulary information in the external data and recognition vocabulary information in a recognition vocabulary database, and outputs its speech recognition result.
Claims15
A speech recognition apparatus for recognizing input speech, comprising:
- storage means for storing recognition vocabulary information for speech recognition;
- input means for inputting speech data;
- read means for reading external data including vocabulary information;
- speech recognition means for making speech recognition of the speech data using the vocabulary information in the read external data, and the recognition vocabulary information;
- and
- output means for outputting a speech recognition result of said speech recognition means.
A speech recognition method for recognizing input speech, comprising:
- an input step of inputting speech data;
- a read step of reading external data including vocabulary information;
- a speech recognition step of making speech recognition of the speech data using the vocabulary information in the read external data, and recognition vocabulary information stored in a recognition vocabulary database;
- and
- an output step of outputting a speech recognition result of the speech recognition step.
A program for making a computer implement speech recognition for recognizing input speech, comprising:
- a program code of an input step of inputting speech data;
- a program code of a read step of reading external data including vocabulary information;
- a program code of a speech recognition step of making speech recognition of the speech data using the vocabulary information in the read external data, and recognition vocabulary information stored in a recognition vocabulary database;
- and
- a program code of an output step of outputting a speech recognition result of the speech recognition step.
