Abstract

A speech signal is input to an LPC cepstrum calcu­ lator (51) and the LPC cepstrums of the speech signal for each frame are calculated as characteristic parameters. The cepstrum is input to a characteristic parameter projection circuit (54) including an inner product calculator (53) and a memory (52) storing first to third priority component vectors that are obtained by applying a priority component analysis to the LPC cepstrums of the non-silent parts of the speech. The inner product calculator (53) calculates inner products of the cepstrum vector and the priority component vec­ tors stored in the priority component vector memory (52) to obtain a projected point of the LPC cepstrums in a vector space formed by the first to third priority com­ ponent vectors. The output of the inner product calcu­ lator (53) is supplied to a silence/non-silence discriminator (56) to which a non-silent region parame­ ter memory (55) storing parameters defining a non-silent region in the non-silent priority component vector space. The silence/non-silence discriminator (56) determines if the speech is silent or non-silent based on whether the projected point is within the non-silent region.
