Abstract
A pattern matching system for a speech recognition apparatus includes a dictionary for storing standard speech patterns, where each of the standard speech patterns are stored in the dictionary with two or more different pattern lengths, a converting part for converting an input speech pattern which has an arbitrary pattern length into at least one converted speech pattern which has one of the pattern lengths with which the standard speech patterns are stored in the dictionary depending on the arbitrary pattern length, and a collating part for collating the converted speech pattern with the standard speech patterns stored in the dictionary to obtain a standard speech pattern which has a largest degree of similarity to the converted speech pattern.
