3. A device including a speech recognition function which recognizes user speech which is speech from a user, the device comprising:
-
at least one loudspeaker which outputs speech to a space; a microphone which collects speech in the space; a speech recognition unit configured to recognize the user speech among the speech collected by the microphone; a downsampler which downsamples a speech signal to have a narrower bandwidth, the speech signal being an electric signal of the speech to be output from the at least one loudspeaker; and an echo canceller which estimates, based on the speech signal downsampled, an echo component which is the speech collected by the microphone among the speech output from the at least one loudspeaker, and cancels the echo component estimated, from the speech collected by the microphone, wherein the speech recognition unit is configured to recognize the user speech by recognizing speech from which the echo canceller has canceled the echo component. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)

7. A method of recognizing user speech which is speech from a user, the method comprising:
-
outputting speech to a space; collecting speech in the space after the outputting; recognizing the user speech among the speech collected in the collecting; downsampling a speech signal to have a narrower bandwidth, the speech signal being an electric signal of the speech to be output in the outputting; and estimating, based on the speech signal downsampled, an echo component which is the speech collected in the collecting among the speech output in the outputting, and canceling the echo component estimated, from the speech collected in the collecting; wherein in the recognizing, the user speech is recognized by recognizing speech from which the echo component has been canceled in the canceling.
