Abstract

A digital voice recording device includes a storage unit, a display unit, and a processing unit. The processing unit includes a recording module, a storing module, a marking module, and a playing module. The recording module converts audio into digital signals, and records the digital signals into an audio file. Each audio file is associated with a document including textual content of the audio file. The storing module stores the audio file and the document. The display module displays the document. The marking module creates a plurality of flags for the audio file. Each flag is associated with a time point in the audio file, and is assigned an identifier. The playing module identifies an identifier of a flag to acquire a time point in response to a user input, and begin playing the audio file from the acquired time point.

Claims

1. A digital voice recording device with a marking function, comprising:

a storage unit;

a display unit; and

a processing unit comprising;

a recording module for converting voice into digital signals, and recording the digital signals in an audio file in response to a user input, wherein each audio file is associated with a document comprising textual content of the audio file;

a storing module for storing the audio file and the document associated with the audio file in the storage unit;

a display module for displaying the textual content associated with the audio file on the display unit;

a marking module for creating a plurality of flags in response to a user input, wherein each flag is associated with a time point in the audio file and a section of the textual content, and is assigned an identifier; and

a playing module for identifying an identifier of one of the plurality of flags to acquire a corresponding time point in response to a user input, and starting to play the audio file from the acquired time point.

2. The digital voice recording device as described in claim 1, wherein the display unit is a touching sensitive screen, the recording module converts audio into digital signals, and records the digital signals in an audio file in response to a touching operation from the display unit, the marking module creates the plurality of flags in response to a touching operation from the display unit, and the playing module identifies an identifier of one of the plurality of flags to acquire a corresponding time point in response to a touching operation from the display unit, and starts to play the audio file from the acquired time point.

3. The digital voice recording device as described in claim 1, wherein the display module is further configured for displaying a slide bar which is to be dragged to select a particular point in the audio file on the display unit.

4. The digital voice recording device as described in claim 1, wherein the display module is further configured for displaying a progress bar when recording voice and playing an audio file.

5. The digital voice recording device as described in claim 4, wherein the marking module is further configured for creating the plurality of flags on the progress bar in response to a user input.

6. The digital voice recording device as described in claim 1, wherein the display module is further configured for displaying a section of the textual content corresponding to the one of the flags in response to a user input.

7. A method for creating a plurality of flags for an audio file which is associated with a document comprising textual content of the audio file;

the method comprising;

displaying the document associated with the audio file;

creating a plurality of flags for the audio file in response to a user input, wherein each flag is associated with a time point of the audio file, and is assigned an identifier; and

identifying an identifier of one of the plurality of flags to acquire a corresponding time point in the audio file in response to a user input, and starting to play the audio file from the corresponding time point.

8. The method as described in claim 7, wherein each flag is further associated with a section of textual content, the method further comprising:

displaying a section of textual content corresponding one of the plurality of flags in response to a user input.

9. The method as described in claim 7, further comprising:

converting the audio into the digital signals, and recording the digital signals in an audio file in response to a touching operation;

creating a plurality of flags for the audio file in response to a touching operation, and

identifying an identifier of one of the plurality of flags to acquire a corresponding time point in the audio file in response to a touching operation.

10. The method as described in claim 7, further comprising:

displaying a slide bar which is to be dragged to select a particular point in the audio file.

11. The method as described in claim 7, further comprising:

displaying a progress bar when recording audio and playing the audio file.
