Emotion recognition used in real world can be expected soon. The application in the call-centre can help the customer service personnel to better serve the customer. Endpoint detection is used to segment the continuous speech. The feature sets are 12 LPCCs and 20 MFCCs. The classifier is D-KNN with Fibonacci series weighting. The recognition accuracy of 83% is obtained. It is not easy to obtain the emotional corpus, especially continuous emotional corpus. In the future, it is necessary to get more emotional speech corpora, and hope to collect them in various forms, such as recording in a noisy environment or not so perfect sound quality. In real life, speeches do not always be recorded in a quiet environment or with high quality devices. The emotion recognition from continuous speech can be used in business, such as call centre. If the real-time system is going to be realized, the performance of the program must be improved. In other words, the programming language need to be changed to that can be used not only in personal computers but also in other devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) or mobile phones.
