Abstract

See full text

A stable evaluation result is obtained from a voice of speech for any sentence. A speech evaluation device (1) outputs a score for evaluating speech of an input voice signal spoken by a speaker in a first group. A feature extraction unit (11) extracts an acoustic feature from the input voice signal. A conversion unit (12) converts the acoustic feature of the input voice signal to an acoustic feature when a speaker in a second group speaks the same text as text of the input voice signal. An evaluation unit (13) calculates a score indicating a higher evaluation as a distance between the acoustic feature before the conversion and the acoustic feature after the conversion becomes shorter.
