Abstract: The present technology relates to an audio processing apparatus, an audio processing method, and a program which enable to appropriately eliminate a noise. An audio processing apparatus includes a sound collector which collects audio, an audio enhancer which enhances audio to be extracted using an audio signal collected by the sound collector, an audio attenuator which attenuates the audio to be extracted using the audio signal collected by the sound collector, a noise environment estimator which estimates a surrounding noise environment, and a post-filtering unit which performs post-filtering processing using an audio-enhanced signal from the audio enhancer and an audio-attenuated signal from the audio attenuator, in which the post-filtering unit sets strength of processing for noise elimination according to the noise environment by the noise environment estimator. The present technology can be applied to an apparatus which performs audio recognition processing, such as a mobile phone.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program that allow response speed to be improved. An information processing device includes a communication controller that performs communication control for receiving transmission data transmitted from a client, transmitting the transmission data to a first service providing server that performs a first service process, receiving a first service process result from the first service providing server, transmitting data according to the first service process result to a second service providing server that performs a second service process that is different from a first service, receiving a second service process result from the second service providing server, and transmitting the second service process result to the client. The first service process result is obtained by performing the first service process on the transmission data. The second service process result is obtained by performing the second service process on the data according to the first service process result. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a voice interaction system in which a client communicates with a plurality of individual systems.
