1. A speech processing apparatus comprising:
- a speech receiving unit that receives input speech;
a speech processing unit that performs a speech recognizing process on the input speech to obtain a recognition candidate;
an analyzing unit that performs a morphological analysis of the recognition candidate;
a generating unit that;
divides, via a processor of the apparatus, the recognition candidate into a plurality of first segments each including at least one morpheme, andgenerates a plurality of partial character string candidates, each consisting of a subset of the first segments, the subset being obtained by removing one or more of the first segments from the recognition candidate, the subset for each partial character string candidate being different from the other subsets;
a first output unit that outputs the partial character string candidates to a display unit; and
a selection receiving unit that receives a selection of a partial character string selected from the partial character string candidates.

Abstract
An analyzing unit performs a morphological analysis of an input character string that is obtained by processing input speech. A generating unit divides the input character string in units of division previously decided, that is composed of one or plural morphemes, and generates partial character strings including part of components of the divided input character string. A candidate output unit outputs the generated partial character strings to a display unit. A selection receiving unit receives a partial character string selected from the outputted partial character strings as a target to be processed.

3. A speech processing apparatus comprising:
-
a speech receiving unit receives the input speech in a first language; a speech processing unit performs a speech recognizing process on the received input speech to obtain a recognition candidate, and translates the recognition candidate into a second language to obtain a text character string; an analyzing unit that performs a morphological analysis of the text character string; a generating unit that; divides, via a processor of the apparatus, the text character string into a plurality of segments each including at least one morpheme, and generates a plurality of partial character string candidates, each consisting of a subset of the segments, the subset being obtained by removing one or more of the segments from the text character string, the subset for each partial character string candidate being different from the other subsets; a first output unit that outputs the partial character string candidates to a display unit; and a selection receiving unit that receives a selection of a partial character string selected from the partial character string candidates.

13. A speech processing method comprising:
-
receiving an input speech; performing a speech recognition process on the input speech to obtain a recognition candidate; performing a morphological analysis of the recognition candidate; dividing the recognition candidate into a plurality of segments each including at least one morpheme; generating, via execution of a processor, a plurality of partial character string candidates, each consisting of a subset of the segments, the subset being obtained by removing one or more of the segments from the recognition candidate, the subset for each partial character string candidate being different from the other subsets; outputting the partial character string candidates to a display unit; and receiving a selection of a partial character string selected from the partial character string candidates.

14. A tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium including programmed instructions for processing an input speech, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
-
receiving an input speech; performing a speech recognizing process on the input speech to obtain a recognition candidate; performing a morphological analysis of the recognition candidate; dividing the recognition candidate into a plurality of segments each including at least one morpheme; generating, via execution of a processor, a plurality of partial character string candidates, each consisting of a subset of the segments, the subset being obtained by removing one or more of the segments from the recognition candidate, the subset for each partial character string candidate being different from the other subsets; outputting the partial character string candidates to a display unit; and receiving a partial character string selected from the partial character string candidates.
