METHOD OF SPEECH RECOGNITION WITH CORRRELATION OF SIMILARITIES

In a method of speech recognition, an input speech signal is analyzed. A result of the analysis is collated with first predetermined standard patterns. A result of the collation is outputted as a sequence of similarities. The sequence of the similarities is handled as feature parameters of the input speech signal, and the feature parameters are collated with second predetermined standard patterns of all recognition objects. A final speech recognition result is generated in accordance with a result of the collation between the feature parameters and the second predetermined standard patterns.
