Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a speech of a first language is recognized using a speech recognition dictionary to recognize the first language and a second language, and a source sentence of the first language is generated. The source sentence is translated into a second language, and a translation sentence of the second language is generated. An unknown word included in the translation sentence is detected. The unknown word is not stored in the speech recognition dictionary. A first pronunciation candidate of the unknown word is estimated, from a representation of the unknown word. A second pronunciation candidate of the unknown word is estimated from a pronunciation of an original word included in the source sentence corresponding to the unknown word. The unknown word, the first pronunciation candidate and the second pronunciation candidate, are registered into the speech recognition dictionary correspondingly.
