Abstract
A speech coding apparatus compares the closeness of the feature value of a feature vector signal of an utterance to the parameter values of prototype vector signals to obtain prototype match scores for the feature vector signal and each prototype vector signal. The speech coding apparatus stores a plurality of speech transition models representing speech transitions. At least one speech transition is represented by a plurality of different models. Each speech transition model has a plurality of model outputs, each comprising a prototype match score for a prototype vector signal. Each model output has an output probability. A model match score for a first feature vector signal and each speech transition model comprises the output probability for at least one prototype match score for the first feature vector signal and a prototype vector signal. A speech transition match score for the first feature vector signal and each speech transition comprises the best model match score for the first feature vector signal and all speech transition models representing the speech transition. The identification value of each speech transition and the speech transition match score for the first fea…
