1. A control device for electrically controlling a medical observation apparatus that captures an image of an observation target, the control device comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive an input value as an operation signal of a switch,
start voice recognition processing based on a voice inputted from outside in a case where the input value is changed from an initial value of the switch to a value other than the initial value,
determine processing to be executed by the medical observation apparatus based on a result of the voice recognition processing,
cause the medical observation apparatus to execute the processing that is determined,
cause the medical observation apparatus to stop the processing in a case where the input value is changed back to the initial value, and
cause the medical observation apparatus to execute reverse processing that is reverse of the processing that is stopped, in a case where the input value is changed again from the initial value during a preset period after the medical observation apparatus is caused to stop the processing.
