CONSTITUTION: When a user turns on a switch 1 of an air conditioner after speaking 'air conditioner on' to a microphone 13, correspondence between a pattern of 'air conditioner on' held in a memory and the signal of the switch to actually start the air conditioner is stored in the storage part of a voice recognizing device. When 'air conditioner off' will be registered, he starts the operation of the air conditioner and turns off the switch after speaking 'air conditioner off'.
