The standard dictionary is built initially as a dictionary to be used for recognizing speeches produced by any independent speaker; and the dictionary updating unit updates the standard dictionary so as to provide a dictionary to be used for recognizing speeches produced by a dependent speaker based on the result of matching between the features extracted from the input speech and the standard dictionary.
