Abstract
A voice analyzer includes an apparatus body, a strap that is connected to the apparatus body to make the apparatus body hung from a neck of a wearer, a first voice acquisition unit that acquires a voice of a speaker and is disposed in either a left or right strap when viewed from the wearer, a second voice acquisition unit that acquires the voice of the speaker and is disposed in the opposite strap in which the first voice acquisition unit is disposed, and an arrangement recognition unit that recognizes arrangements of the first and second voice acquisition units, when viewed from the wearer, by comparing a voice signal of the voice acquired by the first voice acquisition unit with sound pressure of a heart sound of the wearer acquired by the second voice acquisition unit.
