Abstract:
A device includes a plurality of noise suppressing units ( 3 ) performing respective noise suppressing processes using different methods on voice data with noise inputted thereto. The device further includes: a voice recognition unit ( 4 ) carrying out voice recognition on sound data generated by suppressing a noise signal in the voice data with noise; a predicting unit ( 2 ) predicting, from acoustic feature quantities of the inputted voice data with noise, voice recognition rates which are to be provided when the noise suppressing processes are performed on the voice data with noise by the plurality of noise suppressing units ( 3 ), respectively; and a suppressing method selecting unit ( 2 ) selecting a noise suppressing unit ( 3 ) which performs a noise suppressing process on the voice data with noise from the plurality of noise suppressing units on a basis of the predicted voice recognition rates.

Claim (Index 17):
A voice emphasis method comprising:\n feature quantity calculator of a predictor calculating acoustic feature quantities in units of utterance from voice data with noise inputted thereto; a degree of similarity calculator of the predictor acquiring acoustic indexes stored in advance on a basis of a degree of similarity between the calculated acoustic feature quantities, and acoustic feature quantities stored in advance; a suppressing method selector selecting a noise suppressor which performs a noise suppressing process on the voice data with noise on a basis of the acquired acoustic indexes; and the selected noise suppressor performing the noise suppressing process on the inputted voice data with noise.
