User operations when utilizing translation telephone service (translation) are simplified. By making possible voice recognition for limited speakers, voice recognition performance and translation accuracy are improved. When a translation key 73 for use of a translation telephone service is operated, a connection procedure execution unit 31 reads a connection procedure registered in advance in a connection procedure storage unit 83 to connect to a translation telephone device and to set the language to use. The automatic translation mode setting unit refers to the used language of the destination, which is set in advance in a telephone number storage unit 84, and to the history of use of the translation telephone service, which is stored in a call history storage unit 85, and automatically to set the use of the translation telephone service. When using the translation telephone service, voice recognition is performed by a voice recognition unit 33 incorporated within the telephone device 1, and a voice recognition result transmission unit 34 provides text information (text data) which is the recognition result to the translation telephone device.
