Abstract:
A sound processing apparatus includes n number of microphones that are disposed correspondingly to n number of persons and that mainly collect sound signals uttered by respective relevant persons, a filter that suppresses crosstalk components included in a talker sound signal collected by a microphone corresponding to at least one talker using the sound signals collected by the n number of microphones, a parameter updater that updates a parameter of the filter for suppressing the crosstalk components and stores an update result in the memory in a case where a predetermined condition including time at which at least one talker talks is satisfied, and a sound output controller that outputs the sound signals, acquired by subtracting the crosstalk components by the filter from the talker sound signals based on the update result, from a speaker.
