1. A terminal comprising:
- a microphone configured to receive a user'"'"'s voice input for controlling an operation of the terminal when a program for recognizing the user'"'"'s voice is activated;
a controller configured to generate visible data and audible data based on the received user'"'"'s voice, the audible data corresponding to a sound signal generated by converting at least part of the visible data into a generated voice;
an analyzing unit configured to analyze an attribute of the input voice;
a sensing unit configured to sense a degree of proximity between the user'"'"'s mouth and the microphone while the user'"'"'s voice is input; and
an output unit configured to output at least one of the generated visible data and audible data based on the input voice,wherein the controller is further configured to restrict the output of the audible data when the degree of proximity is smaller than a preset range and a volume of the input voice is below a preset reference volume.

16. A method of controlling a terminal, the method comprising:
-
receiving a user'"'"'s voice input through a microphone when a program of recognizing a user'"'"'s voice is activated; generating visible data and audible data based on the received user'"'"'s voice, the audible data corresponding to a sound signal generated by converting at least part of the visible data into a generated voice; analyzing an attribute of the input voice; sensing a degree of proximity between the user'"'"'s mouth and the microphone while the user'"'"'s voice is input; and restricting an output of the audible data when the degree of proximity is smaller than a preset range and a volume of the input voice is below a preset reference volume while the voice is input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
