Abstract
A first similarity degree processor calculates first similarity degrees between a feature value in voice signal of each of first speakers and each feature value in a plurality of unspecified speaker models of a plurality of unspecified speakers. The processor specifies a plurality of the unspecified speaker models for which the first similarity degrees are equal to or greater than a prescribed value. The processor also associates and stores each of the first speakers and the specified unspecified speaker models. Additionally, the processor calculates, for each of the first speakers, a plurality of second similarity degrees between a feature value in a voice signal of a second speaker and each feature values in the unspecified speaker models associated with the first speakers and stored in a second speaker model storage. The processor further specifies the second speaker based on the second similarity degrees.
