Abstract
A speech processing apparatus includes a speech input device which inputs speech, a connection unit which detachably connects the speech input device, a speech recognizer which recognizes speech input by the speech input device through the connection unit, and a monitor which monitors the connection state of the speech input device at the connection unit, and when the connection state changes, outputs an event for notifying the change. The speech recognizer suspends speech recognition processing upon receiving the event from the monitor.
