Abstract: An apparatus for processing the speech information includes a first execution device and a second execution device for executing operations at respective different execution cycles, and a first memory unit for reading and recording the speech information. The first execution device and the second execution device exploit the first memory unit in common for processing the speech information. The processing apparatus further includes a second memory unit for storage of the speech information from the first execution means or the speech information read out from the first memory unit. The first execution device records the speech information on or reads the speech information from the second memory unit during the execution cycle of the first execution device. The second execution device accesses the first memory unit during the execution cycle of the second execution device for outputting the special information to outside.
