A learning-type speech encoding apparatus comprises an adaptive code book storing driving signal vectors, a minimum distortion searching circuit for searching the adaptive code book for an optimum driving signal vector on the basis of the input speech signal, a synthesizing filter for synthesizing a speech signal using the optimum driving signal vector retrieved, a buffer for storing the optimum driving signal vector retrieved, a training vector creating section for producing a training vector by segmenting the stored driving signal vector in units of a specified length, and a learning section for learning by constantly updating the driving signal vectors in the code book on the basis of the training vector. |
