Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a memory storing a first threshold value and a second threshold value corresponding to a receiving direction of a wake-up word, a sound receiver comprising sound receiving circuitry, and a processor configured to: identify a receiving direction of the sound based on a sound received through the sound receiver, based on a similarity between sound data obtained in response to the received sound and the wake-up word being greater than or equal to the first threshold value corresponding to the identified receiving direction, perform voice recognition for a subsequent sound received through the sound receiver, and based on the similarity being less than the first threshold value and greater than or equal to the second threshold value, change the first threshold value.
