Abstract:
By performing both noise cancellation and echo cancellation, a high-quality main voice signal is generated. A voice input/output apparatus includes a noise acquirer that is arranged toward an outside of a body of a user and acquires external noise arriving from the outside of the user, a voice output unit that accepts an input of a voice signal and outputs a voice to an ear canal of the user, a main voice acquirer that acquires a mixed voice, in which the external noise, the output voice, and a main voice of the user transmitted from a vocal cord of the user through the ear canal are mixed, and outputs a mixed voice signal, a noise canceler that processes the mixed voice signal using a noise signal based on the external noise, and an echo canceler that processes the mixed voice signal using the voice signal.
