To improve the operability of an imaging device that can be operated by voice input.SOLUTION: A camera 1 wirelessly communicates with a cloud 2 capable of voice recognition, and stores an operation word related to the operation of the camera 1. A camera system control unit 100 of the camera 1 transmits a voice command to the cloud 2 when the voice command is input from a voice input unit 18. The camera system control unit 100 performs voice recognition processing using the operation word for the input voice command. When language can be understood by the voice recognition processing, the camera system control unit 100 operates the camera 1 using the result of the voice recognition processing. On the other hand, when language cannot be understood, the voice recognition result is received from the cloud 2 and the camera 1 is operated using the received voice recognition result.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】音声入力による操作が可能な撮像装置の操作性を向上させる。【解決手段】カメラ１は、音声認識可能なクラウド２と無線通信しており、カメラ１の操作に関する操作ワードを記憶している。カメラ１のカメラシステム制御部１００は音声入力部１８から音声命令が入力されると音声命令をクラウド２に送信する。カメラシステム制御部１００は入力された音声命令に対して操作ワードを用いた音声認識処理を行う。カメラシステム制御部１００は、音声認識処理により言語理解が可能であった場合、当該音声認識処理の結果を用いてカメラ１を動作する。一方で、言語理解が不可能であった場合、クラウド２から音声認識結果を受信して、受信した音声認識結果を用いてカメラ１を動作する。【選択図】図４
