Abstract

An apparatus for reducing audio interference produced by a transducer (18) in response to an audio signal has a first input for receiving the audio signal and a second input (22) for receiving sound signals. The audio interference affects a speech recognition system (34). The second input provides a possibly contaminated signal representing the sound signals. The sound signals comprise a desired audio signal, and possibly comprise the audio interference. An interference reduction device (30) is coupled to the first and second inputs, for transforming the possibly contaminated signal into features that are substantially free from the effects of the audio interference.
