A speech processing apparatus and method are provided for processing an input speech signal to compensate for the effects of noise in the input speech signal. The method and apparatus divide the input speech signal into a plurality of sequential time frames and a set of spectral parameters are extracted for each time frame, which parameters are representative of the input signal during the time frame. The system then processes the input speech by scaling the parameters for each frame in dependence upon a measure of the signal to noise ratio for the input frame. In this way, the effects of additive noise on the input signal can be reduced.
