According to one embodiment, a speech recognition error correction apparatus includes a correction network memory and an error correction circuitry. The error correction circuitry calculates a difference between a speech recognition result string of an error correction target, which is a result of performing speech recognition on a new series of speech data, and a correction network, where a speech recognition result string and a correction result by a user for the speech recognition result string are associated, and when a value indicating the difference is equal to or less than a threshold, perform error correction on a speech recognition error portion in the speech recognition result string of the error correction target by using the correction network to generate a speech recognition error correction result string.
