Abstract

A user inputs voice through a voice recognition program, a microphone and an A/D converter while pointing by use of a pointing gesture, touch pen or the like with reference to an image displayed on a display unit. For the result of recognition of the inputted voice, a processing or display indicated by a candidate having the first rank of reliability of recognition is performed and an indication showing a plurality of candidates having the second rank and the lower ranks than that is displayed in a menu form on a display screen. In the case where there is an error (that is, in the case where the processing or display indicated by the candidate having the first rank is not a processing intended by the user or the user makes an erroneous input), the error is corrected in such a manner that a correct input candidate is selected by a finger, pen or the like from the displayed menu of candidates having the second rank and the lower ranks than that and a processing operation or display associated with the selected candidate is performed again.
