1. A method, the method comprising:
determining a target segment from a speech signal;
determining a target character sequence corresponding to the target segment by decoding the target segment;
identifying a first overlapping portion between the target character sequence and a preceding character sequence based on a cost applied to an edit distance; and
merging the target character sequence and the preceding character sequence based on the first overlapping portion,
wherein the cost applied to the edit distance is determined based on any one or any combination of any two or more of a type of operation performed at the edit distance, whether characters to be operated are located in the first overlapping portion, and whether the characters to be operated match.
