Abstract
A speech conversation is changed to a text transcript, which is then pre-processed and subjected to text mining to determine salient terms. Salient terms are those terms that meet a predetermined level of selectivity in a collection. The text transcript of the speech conversation is displayed by emphasizing the salient terms and minimizing non-salient terms. An interface is provided that allows a user to select a salient term, whereupon the speech conversation is played beginning at the location, in the speech file, of the selected salient term.
