An image forming system is configured to receive an input of natural language speech. Regardless of whether the natural language speech includes a combination of first words or second words, the image forming system can recognize the natural language speech as an instruction to select a specific print setting displayed on a screen.

A notification system includes a printing apparatus and a server system that controls a voice control device and the printing apparatus. Information for notifying a user of information concerning specified trouble by voice is information for confirming, with the user, by voice, whether the specified trouble has occurred in the printing apparatus. If a response of the user to the information for confirming, with the user, by voice, whether the specified trouble has occurred in the printing apparatus indicates that the specified trouble has occurred in the printing apparatus, the printing apparatus is instructed to execute the processing for solving the specified trouble, and if the response of the user to the information for confirming, with the user, by voice, whether the specified trouble has occurred in the printing apparatus indicates that the specified trouble has not occurred in the printing apparatus, the printing apparatus is not instructed to execute the processing for solving the specified trouble. In addition, information for confirming, with the user, by voice, whether a trouble different from the specified trouble has occurred in the printing apparatus is transmitted.

According to one embodiment, an indication management device includes voice acquisition means, indication recognition means, importance degree determination means, and output control means. The voice acquisition means acquires a voice which is input by a voice input terminal. The indication recognition means recognizes details of an indication from the voice acquired by the voice acquisition means. The importance degree determination means determines a degree of importance of the indication from the voice acquired by the voice acquisition means. The output control means controls output of indication details to an output device in accordance with the degree of importance determined by the importance degree determination means.

A printing system includes a printing apparatus and an information processing apparatus coupled to the printing apparatus through a network. The information processing apparatus has: a storage that stores registration information in correspondence with the identification information of a user, the registration information including at least one of a content corresponding to a keyword and acquired-from source information representing a source from which the content was acquired; a keyword acquiring section that acquires the keyword included in a print command by voice and the identification information linked to the keyword from a voice relay apparatus; and a transmitting section that creates print data that uses the content that is associated with the acquired identification information and corresponds to the keyword acquired by the keyword acquiring section, and transmits the print data to the printing apparatus. The printing apparatus receives the print data and executes printing according to the print data.

A speech setting system includes a job execution device that is capable of executing a job, and a speech setting assistance device that assists generation of the job to be executed by the job execution device based on speech information obtained from a speech, wherein the job execution device includes a first hardware processor, the first hardware processor is configured to execute the job in accordance with a parameter set for each of a plurality of setting items, and display a setting screen in which a plurality of the parameters respectively corresponding to the plurality of setting items are arranged, the speech setting assistance device includes a second hardware processor, and the second hardware processor is configured to determine the parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of setting items based on the speech information, and output speech output information for outputting the determined parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of setting items by speech in accordance with an output order that is defined based on a relative positional relationship among the plurality of the parameters arranged in the setting screen.

An utterance imaging device reduces a cognitive load on utterance details by including an extraction unit configured to extract some character strings from character strings recognized as sounds from an utterance, an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image based on the some character strings, and an output unit configured to output the image to a position corresponding to a speaker related to the utterance.

An information processing system that a user easily masters a relation between an execution process and an utterance instruction. The information processing system includes a display device, a microphone, an output unit, a display control unit, and an execution unit. The display device can display information. The microphone can obtain voice. The output unit outputs word information based on voice in natural language obtained with the microphone. The display control unit additionally displays utterance examples in association with touch objects included in a screen that is currently displayed on the display device. The execution unit executes a predetermined process linked to a touch object based on words included in a corresponding utterance example and the output word information at least.

An image forming system that is capable of reducing time and effort of a user for setting a display language. The image forming system including the following members. An image forming device forms an image on a sheet. A display device displays information. A microphone obtains voice. An obtainment unit obtains a plurality of pieces of word information based on audio information on the phrase obtained through the microphone. A specification unit specifies a language using the plurality of word information. An update unit updates a display language of the display unit based on the language specified by the specification unit.

A voice operation system includes: an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording material; a server that accepts voice information related to an operation on the image forming apparatus, and gives an operation instruction to the image forming apparatus; and a voice input/output device that converts an input voice into voice information, sends the voice information to the server, receives voice information as a response to the voice information related to the operation on the image forming apparatus, and emits a sound of the voice information, wherein the server has a hardware processor that stores information on a part of a function or configuration of the image forming apparatus, and the server determines executability of an operation associated with voice information transmitted from the voice input/output device, and causes the image forming apparatus to execute determination of executability of an operation that is not determinable.
