Speech recognition device and method, and semiconductor integrated circuit device

Abstract

A semiconductor integrated circuit device for speech recognition includes a conversion candidate setting unit that receives text data indicating words or sentences together with a command and sets the text data in a conversion list in accordance with the command; a standard pattern extracting unit that extracts, from a speech recognition database, a standard pattern corresponding to at least a part of the words or sentences indicated by the text data that is set in the conversion list; a signal processing unit that extracts frequency components of an input speech signal and generates a feature pattern indicating distribution of the frequency components; and a match detecting unit that detects a match between the feature pattern generated from at least a part of the speech signal and the standard pattern and outputs a speech recognition result.
