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 16):
A voice recognition method comprising:\n a predictor predicting, from acoustic feature quantities of voice data with noise inputted thereto, voice recognition rates which are to be provided when plural noise suppressing processes are performed by plural noise suppressors on the voice data with noise, respectively; a suppressing method selector selecting a noise suppressor which performs a noise suppressing process on the voice data with noise from the plural noise suppressors on a basis of the predicted voice recognition rates; the noise suppressor which is selected performing the noise suppressing process on the inputted voice data with noise; and a voice recognizer carrying out voice recognition on the sound data generated by suppressing a noise signal in the voice data with noise through the noise suppressing process.
