A voice recognition apparatus includes a coefficient memory for storing at least one coefficient for correcting a degree of similarity which is obtained by either one of the speaker-independent recognition and the speaker-dependent recognition. The apparatus also includes a voice identification circuit for comparing the degrees of similarity of the candidates obtained by either one of the speaker-independent recognition and the speaker-dependent recognition with corrected degrees of similarity of the candidates related to the other recognition type which are obtained by performing a predetermined operation to the degree of similarity of each candidate which is supplied from the other recognition type. Then the voice identification decides one candidate having the highest degree of similarity to be an identification result.
