A method and apparatus for constructing new Chinese words by voice input is disclosed. The invention provides a method of adding new words to a speech recognition system, for example, a speaker-independent Chinese speech recognition system, for updating its vocabulary database. In the invention, voice signals indicating a description of Chinese characters/syllables are input sequentially, and feature parameters are derived from the voice signals. The feature parameters are compared with a description constraint unit to determine corresponding characters or syllables. The characters or syllables are stored in a storage unit. After confirmation by users, the characters or syllables are combined into a new word.
