Abstract:
1. A surgical system controlling apparatus, comprising: a voice information inputting section for inputting operation state voice information related to an operation state of a surgical instrument to be controlled; a voice recognition processing section for recognizing the operation state voice information based on operation state standard voice data; a guidance data storing section for storing at least guidance data according to a recognition state in the voice recognition processing section; and a guidance voice generating section for generating voice data based on the guidance data, wherein, when a matching rate of either first operation state voice information or second operation state voice information with respect to the operation state standard voice data is equal to or lower than a predetermined first value, the voice recognition processing section judges that the operation state voice information cannot be hierarchically recognized; and when the voice recognition processing section judges that the operation state voice information cannot be hierarchically recognized, the guidance voice generating section generates voice data based on guidance as to causes of error and guidance as to contents to be improved which are stored in the guidance data storing section and allows the generated voice data to be outputted.
