Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide an input auxiliary apparatus equipped with an input section to input character strings; an embellishment information retaining section to retain embellishment information on a plurality of postures in a storing section in advance to link each posture with the embellishment information; a posture detecting section to detect the posture; a reading section to read out the embellishment information linked with the posture detected by the posture detecting section from the storing section; and an embellishment applying section to apply the embellishment information read out by the reading section to the character strings. The input section preferably includes a speech recognition section to recognize voice data based on speech recognition and convert the voice data to the character strings. Accordingly, this enables emotions of a speaker to be correctly judged and suitable embellishments to be appended when performing speech recognition.
