Abstract

A speech processing device includes a processor. The processor performs operations including: detecting a single-talk state based on a speech signal collected by each of microphones, the single-talk state in which any one of persons speaks; estimating a mixing rate indicating a ratio of a speech signal of the main speaking person to a speech signal of another person based on a sound pressure ratio of the speech signals collected by the microphones in the single-talk state of the main speaking person and a sound pressure ratio of the speech signals collected by the plurality of microphones in the single-talk state of the another person; and determining whether suppression of a crosstalk component due to speaking of the another person contained in the speech signal of the main speaking person is necessary based on an estimation result of the mixing rate.
