APPARATUS, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR LANGUAGE IDENTIFICATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for language identification which can identify what language a user speaks through simple processing.

SOLUTION: Small-scale speech recognizing engines for language identification which each performs a predetermined operation of calling a user and decide only words of limited patterns supposed to be spoken in response to the calling operation as recognition candidates are placed in parallel operation for a plurality of languages to decide what language an user's answer voice is. A large-scale speech recognizing engine for control which widely recognizes words of the identified language is placed in operation to enable multilingual operation control while reducing the operation load on the voice recognizing engines.
