Abstract
An electronic device and a method for recognizing a speech are provided. The method for recognizing a speech by an electronic device includes: receiving sounds generated from a sound source through a plurality of microphones; calculating power values from a plurality of audio signals generated by performing signal processing on each sound input through the plurality of microphones and calculating direction information on the sound source based on the calculated power values and storing the calculated direction information; and performing the speech recognition on a speech section included in the audio signal based on the direction information on the sound source. As a result, the electronic device may correctly detect only a speech section from an audio signal while improving a speech section detection related processing speed.
