A navigation device, installed on a vehicle to enable information to be provided
to an occupant of the vehicle, includes a display section providing a display of
an image to the occupant of the vehicle, a speech recognition section executing
speech recognition processing for a voice input relating to a speech recognition
object word that forms a word to be an objective for speech recognition, and an
information providing processor section compelling a predetermined image to be
displayed on the display section depending on a recognized content resulting through
the speech recognition processing in the presence of recognition of the speech
recognition object word resulting through the speech recognition processing. The
speech recognition section executes second speech recognition processing for the
speech recognition object word except for the speech recognition object word present
in the image currently displayed in the display section in the presence of a failure
in recognition of the speech recognition object word.
