VOICE RECOGNITION APPARATUS

摘要

According to one embodiment, a voice recognition apparatus includes a determination unit, an estimating unit, and a voice recognition unit. The determination unit determines whether a component with a frequency of not less than 1000 Hz and with a level not lower than a predetermined level is included in a sound input from a plurality of microphones. The estimating unit estimates a sound source direction of the sound when the determination unit determines that the component is included in the sound. The voice recognition unit recognizes whether the sound obtained in the sound source direction coincides with a voice model registered beforehand.
