DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECOGNIZING VOICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify a voice message by inhibiting routine message synthesizing processing in a voice synthesis means when rerecognition for the contents of speech is requested from a request means. SOLUTION: When a passenger depresses a speech switch, an operation signal for instructing the start of voice recognition is outputted from the speech switch to a control part 51 in a processor 40. A reinput flag indicating whether a recognition request to the contents of speech is processing related to rerecognition or not is previously set up to '0'. Since the reinput flag is set up to '1' in the case of rerecognition processing, a parameter generation part 57 judges the processing as processing related to rerecognition even at the time of acquiring text data 61 related to recognition result information outputted from a pattern matching part 56 and stops text data synthesizing processing for the recogntion result information. Consequently the parameter generation part 57 generates a voice synthetic parameter from the recognition result information outputted from the pattern matching part 56.
