Abstract

A speech processing apparatus which, in the process of performing echo canceling by using a pseudo acoustic echo signal, continuously uses an impulse response used for the previous frame as an impulse response to generate the pseudo acoustic echo signal when a voice is contained in the microphone input signal, and which uses a newly updated impulse response when a voice is not contained in the microphone input signal.
