A system and a method for processing a speech are described. According to a predetermined embodiment, speech processing is improved by using visual information. The visual information can be image data obtained from the inside of a vehicle. In an embodiment, the image data illustrates features of a person in the vehicle. According to a predetermined embodiment, the image data is used to obtain a speaker feature vector for use by an adapted speech processing module. The speech processing module can be formed to process audio data illustrating features of a speech by using the speaker feature vector. The audio data can be audio data guided from an audio capture device in the vehicle. According to a predetermined embodiment, a neural network architecture is used to provide an acoustic model processing the audio data and the speaker feature vector.
