A voice recognition device used as a peripheral device for a game machine including a voice input device, a voice recognition section for recognizing the player's voice by comparing the voice signal output from the voice input device with data from previously defined voice recognition dictionaries and generating control signals relating to the game on the basis of the recognition result. The voice recognition section includes a non-specific speaker voice recognition dictionary which is previously defined for unspecified speakers, and a specific speaker voice recognition dictionary which is defined by the player.

Voice recognizer, voice recognizing method and game machine using them

A system for helping the production of a desired translation by aiding the operator to make revisions within the text results of each stage of the translation process. The system achieves this goal by receiving text inputted by the operator and conferring IDs to each character of text, and for this text, successively proceeding through morphological analysis, conferring of equivalents to content words, and conversion of sentence structure to that of the target language while referring to a dictionary/grammar section and conferring IDs to corresponding language units. Text corresponding to each stage is stored and moreover, the stage to which translation has advanced is detected, and upon receiving a designation as to which translation stage the operator wishes to have displayed, outputted text of the translation process designated by the operator is copied from the corresponding buffer if the most advanced translation process at that time is beyond the designated translation stage. If the operator here designates a portion of this text, the buffer of the display stage designated by the operator is referred to, and the corresponding portion is copied and displayed.
