13. In a speech analysis apparatus for recognizing at least one spoken keyword in an audio signal, each keyword being characterized by a template having at least one target pattern, apparatus for forming reference patterns representing said spoken keywords and tailored to a speaker comprising: means for providing speaker independent reference patterns representing said spoken keywords, means for determining beginning and ending boundaries of said keywords in audio signals spoken by said speaker using said speaker independent reference patterns, and means for training the speech analysis apparatus to said speaker using the beginning and ending boundaries determined by said apparatus for said keywords spoken by said speaker.
