Information processing apparatus and destination search method

An information processing apparatus that is connected to a voice processing server that analyzes text data transmitted from a voice input/output apparatus that converts an instruction by an utterance of a user to the text data and outputs the text data, and outputs an instruction obtained by analysis and utterance language information indicating a language of the utterance, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a communicator that communicates with the voice processing server;
• a destination searcher that, when the instruction output from the voice processing server and received by the communicator is a destination search instruction using a name as a search character string, determines on the basis of the utterance language information whether to include a space character in a target of the search in a case where the space character is included between a last name and a first name of the name in a destination list in which the name and information of destination of the name are registered, and searches for the name indicated in the search character string from the destination list on the basis of a result of the determination;
• and
• a hardware processor that performs control to transmit a search result of the destination by the destination searcher to the voice processing server via the communicator.
