Abstract
In this invention, a voice recognition engineoutputs to a controlling sectiona matching state of a voice input signal as an error code. Then, the controlling sectiondetermines the matching state based on the error code in the error determination sectionand outputs to a voice synthesizing engineguidance data according to the matching state based on a timing control by a guidance timing controlling section. According to such a configuration, this invention improves operatability by voice operation, while reducing a risk of erroneous recognition by maintaining a predetermined matching rate.
