Information processing apparatus for transmitting speech signals selectively to a plurality of speech recognition servers, speech recognition system including the information processing apparatus, and information processing method
An information processing apparatus includes: a speech obtainer which obtains speech of a user; a first controller which, when the first controller recognizes that the speech obtained by the speech obtainer is a first activation word, outputs a speech signal corresponding to the first activation word; and a second controller. In the first speech transmission process in which the speech signal of the speech obtained by speech obtainer is transmitted to the VPA cloud server, the first controller determines whether to output a speech signal corresponding to a second activation word to the second controller based on a predetermined priority level when the first controller recognizes that the speech obtained by the speech obtainer indicates the second activation word for causing the second controller to start a second speech transmission process.
