Abstract
Necessary portions of stored speech data representing conference content are summarized and reproduced in a predetermined time. Conference speech is summarized and reproduced using a speech data summarizing and reproducing apparatus comprising a speech data divider for dividing and structuring conference speech data into several utterance unit data based on utterers, distributed documents, the occurrence frequency of words in speech recognition results, and pauses, an importance level calculator for determining important utterance unit data based on the occurrence frequency of keywords, the information of utterers, and data specified by the user, a summarizer for extracting important utterance unit data and summarizing them within a specified time, and a speech data reproducer for reproducing the summarized speech data in chronological order or an order of importance levels with auxiliary information added thereto.
