A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication, a display, and a controller configured to, activate a mode for voice recognition in response to a touch input to a soft button displayed on the display or to a hard button on the mobile terminal, receive a first voice input associated with a phone call relating operation of the mobile terminal, display an indicator on the display indicating the voice input is being recognized by the mobile terminal, analyze the context of a voice command in the voice input, execute the call relating operation only if there is a single contact in a phonebook that matches the voice command in the first voice input, if there is no single contact that matches the voice command of the received voice input, display a plurality of candidates that is analyzed based on the voice command, receive a second input according to a plurality of candidates, and execute the call relating operation based on the second input.

Mobile terminal and menu control method thereof

A mobile terminal including an input unit configured to receive an input to activate a voice recognition function on the mobile terminal and a memory configured to store multiple domains related to menus and operations of the mobile terminal. It further includes a controller configured to access a specific domain among the multiple domains included in the memory based on the received input to activate the voice recognition function, to recognize user speech based on a language model and an acoustic model of the accessed domain, and to determine at least one menu and operation of the mobile terminal based on the accessed specific domain and the recognized user speech.

A method for detecting a character or a word emphasized by a user from a voice inputted in a mobile terminal to refer it as meaningful information for a voice recognition, or emphatically displaying the user-emphasized character or word in a pre-set format when the inputted voice is converted into text, and a mobile terminal implementing the same are disclosed. The mobile terminal includes: a microphone to receive a voice of user; a controller to convert the received voice into corresponding text and detect a character or a word emphatically pronounced by the user from the voice; and a display unit to emphatically display the detected character or word in a pre-set format when the converted text is displayed.

Mobile terminal and method for recognizing voice thereof

A mobile terminal including an input unit configured to receive an input to activate a voice recognition function on the mobile terminal, a memory configured to store information related to operations performed on the mobile terminal, and a controller configured to activate the voice recognition function upon receiving the input to activate the voice recognition function, to determine a meaning of an input voice instruction based on at least one prior operation performed on the mobile terminal and a language included in the voice instruction, and to provide operations related to the determined meaning of the input voice instruction based on the at least one prior operation performed on the mobile terminal and the language included in the voice instruction and based on a probability that the determined meaning of the input voice instruction matches the information related to the operations of the mobile terminal.

A mobile terminal including a voice receiving unit configured to receive input voice, a controller configured to convert the received input voice to text, a display configured to display the converted text, and an input unit configured to select a word included in the displayed converted text. Further, the controller is further configured to control the display to display a plurality of possible candidate words corresponding to the selected word in an arrangement in which a corresponding displayed candidate word is displayed with a proximity from the selected word that is based on how similar the corresponding candidate word is to the selected word.
