1. A speech complementing apparatus comprising:
- means for repeatedly and continuously detecting whether or not there is filled pause in a user'"'"'s speech, wherein said filled pause is a trigger for complementing;
means for recognizing said user'"'"'s speech in parallel with said detecting whether or not there is said filled pause;
means for complementing a language part to the fragment of the language spoken by the user when said filled pause is detected by said means for detecting; and
means for outputting a result of recognizing by said means for recognizing when no filled pause was detected.

17. A recording medium which stores a program executed in a complementing apparatus, said program comprising:
-
a speech input step for inputting a speech;
a first detecting step for detecting repeatedly and continuously whether or not there is a filled pause in the inputted speech;
a recognizing step for recognizing said user'"'"'s speech in parallel with said first detecting step, wherein a recognition result is generated;
a second detecting step for detecting a word fragment being a base to be complemented in said recognition result when there is the filled pause in said first detecting step;
a complementing step for complementing said recognition result, based on the detected word fragment;
an outputting step for outputting said recognition result when no filled pause was detected. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
