A voice recognition system, when deciding that a user is about to select a voice recognition result displayed on a screen while the system continuously recognizes a voice uttered, stops a display update of the recognition result on the display unit, thereby being able to prevent the recognition result from disappearing or from changing to other recognition result at the moment when the user is about to select the recognition result. This makes it possible to prevent a user from carrying out an unwanted operation, and to improve the convenience of the user.

Voice recognition system and recognition result display apparatus

A voice recognition device includes a voice input unitfor inputting a voice of an uttered button name to convert the voice into an electric signal, a voice recognition processing unitfor performing a voice recognition process according to a sound signal sent thereto, as the electric signal, from the voice input unit, a button candidate detecting unitfor detecting, as a button candidate, a button having a button name which partially matches a voice recognition result acquired by the voice recognition processing unit, a display control unitfor, when a plurality of candidate buttons are detected by the button candidate detecting unit, producing a screen showing a state in which at least one of the plurality of button candidates is selected, and a display unitfor displaying the screen produced by the display control unit.
