Abstract
A method of speech recognition includes the steps of analyzing input speech every frame and deriving feature parameters from the input speech, generating an input vector from the feature parameters of a plurality of frames, and periodically calculating partial distances between the input vector and partial standard patterns while shifting the frame one by one. Standard patterns correspond to recognition-object words respectively, and each of the standard patterns is composed of the partial standard patterns which represent parts of the corresponding recognition-object word respectively. The partial distances are accumulated into distances between the input speech and the standard patterns. The distances correspond to the recognition-object words respectively. The distances are compared with each other, and a minimum distance of the distances is selected when the input speech ends. One of the recognition-object words which corresponds to the minimum distance is decided to be a recognition result.
