Abstract
An utterance boundary detecting apparatus of this invention includes an acoustic processor for generating speech parameter time sequence data according to an input speech signal. The speech parameter time sequence data generated from the acoustic processor is delivered to a buffer memory and noise level determining circuit. The noise level determining circuit calculates the average value of speech parameter values of a background noise corresponding to a silent period when a speech signal is input as words uttered. The apparatus includes a threshold value calculating circuit for calculating an utterance boundary detection threshold value on the basis of an average value calculated by the noise level determining circuit. An utterance boundary detecting circuit generates utterance boundary data on the basis of the threshold value from the threshold value calculating circuit and speech parameter time sequence data in a buffer memory.
