Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor configured to perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) on a speech input by using a speech recognition model that is stored in a memory and a communication module configured to provide the speech input to a server and receive a speech instruction, which corresponds to the speech input, from the server. The electronic device may perform different operations according to a confidence score of a result of the ASR. Besides, it may be permissible to prepare other various embodiments speculated through the specification.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a processor configured to perform automatic speech recognition (ASR) on a speech input by using a speech recognition model that is stored in a memory; and

a communication module configured to transmit the speech input to a server and receive a speech instruction, which corresponds to the speech input, from the server,

wherein the processor is further configured to;

perform an operation corresponding to a result of the ASR if a confidence score of the result of the ASR is higher than a first threshold value, and

provide a feedback to a user if the confidence score of the result of the ASR is lower than a second threshold value.
