Abstract
A voice input apparatus includes first to third microphones and a controller. The first microphone collects a voice at a first position outside an ear canal of a speaker, and outputs a first input voice signal. The second microphone collects a voice at a second position outside the ear canal of the speaker and closer to a mouth of the speaker than the first position, and outputs a second input voice signal. The third microphone collects a voice inside the ear canal of the speaker, and outputs a third input voice signal. The controller detects a sound pressure of the first input voice signal, sets reflection degrees of the second and third input voice signals according to the detected sound pressure, and generates an output voice signal including at least one of the second and third input voice signals based on the reflection degrees.
