  • Patent number: 9105267
    Abstract: A speech recognition apparatus includes a first recognition dictionary, a speech input unit, a speech recognition unit, a speech transmission unit, a recognition result receipt unit, and a control unit. The speech recognition unit recognizes a speech based on a first recognition dictionary, and outputs a first recognition result. A server recognizes the speech based on a second recognition dictionary, and outputs a second recognition result. The control unit determines a likelihood level of a selected candidate obtained based on the first recognition result, and accordingly controls an output unit to output at least one of the first recognition result and the second recognition result. When the likelihood level of the selected candidate is equal to or higher than a threshold level, the control unit controls the output unit to output the first recognition result irrespective of whether the second recognition result is received from the server.
