Abstract: A voice recognition system, when deciding that a user is about to select a voice recognition result displayed on a screen while the system continuously recognizes a voice uttered, stops a display update of the recognition result on the display unit, thereby being able to prevent the recognition result from disappearing or from changing to other recognition result at the moment when the user is about to select the recognition result. This makes it possible to prevent a user from carrying out an unwanted operation, and to improve the convenience of the user.
