Embodiment Construction

[0028] Exemplary embodiments of a speech processing device and a speech processing method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The speech processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention determines the processing duration based on the specified duration, the speech duration and speaker information. The processing duration is the duration of speech that is the subject of speech processing (hereinafter, simply referred to as "target speech"). The specified duration is a duration specified by an operator. The speech duration is detected from the input speech. The speaker information is obtained by referring to information on voice input from a plurality of microphones.

[0030] Specifically, the voice duration is the duration of a voice determined to be a voice among the plurality of input voices. The processing duration is the duration of the actual processed target spee...

Abstract

A speech processing apparatus includes a sound input unit that receives an input of a sound including a voice of one of an operator and a person other than the operator; a designation-duration accepting unit that accepts a designation-duration designated by the operator as a time interval that is a target of a speech processing within the input sound; a voice-duration detecting unit that detects a voice-duration that is a time interval in which the voice is present from the input sound; a speaker determining unit that determines whether a speaker of the voice is the operator or the person based on the input sound; and a deciding unit that detects an overlapping period between the designation-duration and the voice-duration, and decides that the voice-duration including the overlapping period is a processing duration, when the overlapping period is detected and the speaker is determined to be the person.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for processing and outputting input speech. Background technique [0002] In recent years, as a type of speech processing apparatus that processes input speech, development of speech translation systems and the like that support interlingual communication by translating the source language of input speech into a target language is underway. [0003] In the speech processing system, since the speech of a plurality of speakers is input to the system, speech processing needs to be performed for each speaker. There has been proposed a technique for specifying a direction in which, by using a movable microphone or a gyro sensor, the speaker of each input speech can be present and used to determine the translation direction, see, for example, JP-A 2005 - as disclosed in 141759 (public). [0004] However, the technique disclosed in JP-A 2005-141759 (Kokai) has a problem of malfunction or complicated operation. T...
