Abstract
A spoken dialogue device includes a recognition unit that recognizes an acquired user speech, a barge-in speech control unit that determines whether to engage a barge-in speech, a dialogue control unit that outputs a system response to a user based on a recognition result of the user speech other than the barge-in speech determined not to be engaged by the barge-in speech control unit, a response generation unit that generates a system speech based on the system response, and an output unit that outputs a system speech. When each user speech element included in the user speech corresponds to a predetermined morpheme included in the immediately previous system speech and does not correspond to a response candidate to the immediately previous system speech by a user, the barge-in speech control unit does not engage at least the user speech element.
