Abstract
An operational support apparatus includes a speech recognizer and a command generator. The speech recognizer converts speech data into text information. In a case where the text information contains a keyword that indicates application software, the command generator identifies which of input terminals of a display apparatus is associated with the application software. The command generator generates, as a control command, a switching command to activate the input terminal thus identified and a start-up command to start the application software.
