A speaker recognition device for judging whether or not an unknown speaker is an authentic registered speaker himself/herself executes 'text verification using speaker independent speech recognition and 'speaker verification by comparison with a reference pattern of a password of a registered speaker'. A presentation section instructs the unknown speaker to input an ID and utter a specified text designated by a text generation section and a password. The 'text verification' of the specified text is executed by a text verification section, and the 'speaker verification' of the password is executed by a similarity calculation section. A judgment section judges that the unknown speaker is the authentic registered speaker himself/herself if both the results of the 'text verification' and the 'speaker verification' are affirmative. According to the device, the 'text verification' is executed using a set of speaker independent reference patterns, and the 'speaker verification' is executed using speaker reference patterns of passwords of registered speakers, thus considerably reducing storage capacity required fo r storing reference patterns for verification. Preferably, 'speaker identity verifi- cation' between the specified text and the password is executed.
