Abstract
A determiner in a dialog control apparatus determines whether a reply can be made in response to an utterance made by the dialog partner. If the determiner determines that a reply cannot be made, a creator creates a reply sentence for connecting to a next topic. An utterer utters the reply sentence created by the creator.
