1. A speech signal processing apparatus comprising:
- HMM learning means for computing HMMs of speech segments with information indicating a phonetic environment in a speech database;
segment recognition means for performing segment recognition of the speech segments in the speech database on the basis of the HMMs; and
registration means for registering a speech segment in a segment dictionary, in a case where the recognition result of the speech segment by said segment recognition means corresponds to the information indicating the phonetic environment of the speech segment.

Abstract
A speech segment search unit searches a speech database for speech segments that satisfy a phonetic environment, and a HMM learning unit computes the HMMs of phonemes on the basis of the search result. A segment recognition unit performs segment recognition of speech segments on the basis of the computed HMMs of the phonemes, and when the phoneme of the segment recognition result is equal to a phoneme of the source speech segment, that speech segment is registered in a segment dictionary.
