Abstract

An apparatus has both a function to enter a plurality of items required for processing by means of key input by repeating an operation in which an item is selected from a displayed list using a key selection, which causes the display of another list of items related to the selected item, and a function to enter a plurality of items required for processing by means of voice input by entering each item via voice. An item may be entered by a combination of key input and voice input. When an item is entered by either key input or voice input, a list of items related to the entered item is displayed. Alternatively, upon a request for list view in a voice-input mode, a list of items for key input is presented, and the input mode is temporarily switched to a key-input mode. Once an item has been selected from the presented list using a key selection, the input mode is returned to the voice-input mode.
