Speech recognition apparatus.

摘要

When a speech of a predetermined sound pressure or more is externally input while a flip-flop (12) is in a reset state, a time measuring circuit (14) starts time measurement in accordance with a signal from a speech detector (9). When a speech of a predetermined sound pressure or more is externally input while time measurement is being performed by the time measuring circuit (14), a measurement time of the time measuring circuit (14) at this moment is stored in a time storage RAM (17). After a predetermined time has elapsed, if a speech recognizing circuit (10) recognizes that the external speech is "stop" for stopping a measurement operation in the time measuring circuit (14), time information stored in the time storage RAM (17) is read out and displayed as time information upon stopping on a display unit.
