Abstract

A speech recognition apparatus () acquires source data () representing an audio signal including an utterance. The speech recognition apparatus () converts the source data () into a text string (). The speech recognition apparatus () generates a concatenated text () representing a content of an utterance by concatenating a text () included in the text string (). Herein, texts () adjacent to each other in the text string () are such that parts of associated audio signals overlap each other on a time axis. At a time of concatenating texts () adjacent to each other, the speech recognition apparatus () eliminates a trailing portion of a preceding text () and a leading portion of a succeeding text ().
