1. An image display apparatus comprising:
a first audio receiver;
a display to display a content;
a first communicator to receive a control signal from a remote controller; and
a controller configured to:
in response to receiving a first audio input for starting a speech recognition from the first audio receiver, start the speech recognition, and
in response to a second audio input being received via the first audio receiver after the speech recognition is started, perform an operation according to the second audio input, and control the display to display a result of the operation,
wherein the remote controller is configured to control the image display apparatus and includes:
a button for controlling the image display apparatus to start the speech recognition,
a second audio receiver to receive a third audio input wherein the third audio input is received as a user voice via the second audio receiver of the remote controller, and
a second communicator to communicate with the image display apparatus and to transmit the control signal to the image display apparatus,
wherein in response to the button of the remote controller being pressed while the image display apparatus waits to receive a user voice via the first audio receiver after the speech recognition is started by the first audio input to the first audio receiver of the image display apparatus, the controller is further configured to end the speech recognition started by the first audio input.
