Claim:
1. A voice recognition terminal provided to be able to communicate with a server capable of voice recognition for recognizing voice and calculating reliability indicating correctness of recognition, comprising: a voice input acceptance portion accepting voice input from a user; a voice recognition portion carrying out voice recognition of the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion; a response processing execution portion performing processing for responding to said user based on a result of voice recognition of the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion; and a communication portion transmitting the voice input accepted by said voice input acceptance portion to said server and receiving a result of voice recognition in said server, said response processing execution portion performing the processing for responding to said user based on the result of voice recognition determined as more suitable, of the result of voice recognition by said voice recognition portion and the result of voice recognition received from said server, wherein said voice recognition portion recognizes said voice and calculates reliability indicating correctness of recognition, and said response processing execution portion further performs the processing for responding to said user based on the result of voice recognition obtained later between the result of voice recognition received from said server and the result of voice recognition carried out by the voice recognition portion, when reliability included in the later obtained result of voice recognition is higher than reliability included in the result of voice recognition obtained earlier, in connection with reliability included in the result of voice recognition by said voice recognition portion, such that smooth communication can be carried out with the user without imposing stress to the user.
