A device comprising means for picking up and recognizing speech signals and a method of controlling an electric apparatus are proposed. The device comprises a personifying element ( 14 ) which can be moved mechanically. The position of a user is determined and the personifying element ( 14 ), which may comprise, for example, the representation of a human face, is moved in such a way that its front side ( 44 ) points in the direction of the user's position. Microphones ( 16 ), loudspeakers ( 18 ) and/or a camera ( 20 ) may be arranged on the personifying element ( 14 ). The user can conduct a speech dialog with the device, in which the apparatus is represented in the form of the personifying element ( 14 ). An electric apparatus can be controlled in accordance with the user's speech input. A dialog of the user with the personifying element for the purpose of instructing the user is also possible. |
