Abstract

According to an embodiment, a voice processing device includes a receiver, a separator, and an output controller. The receiver is configured to receive n input signals input into n voice input devices respectively corresponding to n sound sources, where n is an integer of 2 or more. The separator is configured to separate the input signals by the sound sources to produce n separation signals. The output controller is configured to, according to the number of sound sources having uttered voice sounds, switch between an output signal produced based on the input signal and an output signal produced based on the separation signal, and output the output signal.
