- first, second and third voice recognizers which recognize an input voice and obtain recognition results including candidate character strings corresponding to the input voice; and
a controller which, when it is decided based on said recognition results obtained by said first and second voice recognizers to cause said third voice recognizer to recognize said input voice, causes said third voice recognizer to recognize said input voice by using a dictionary including said candidate character string obtained by at least one of said first and second voice recognizers, and causes said output unit to output said recognition result obtained by the recognition.

Abstract
An object is to provide a technique which can provide a highly valid recognition result while preventing unnecessary processing. A voice recognition device includes first to third voice recognition units, and a control unit. When it is decided based on recognition results obtained by the first and second voice recognition units to cause the third voice recognition unit to recognize an input voice, the control unit causes the third voice recognition unit to recognize the input voice by using a dictionary including a candidate character string obtained by at least one of the first and second voice recognition units.
