3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein, when the text displayed in the text preview interface is displayed in the text output interface, the processor displays next text of the text displayed in the text output interface in the text preview interface.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein, when the length of the second touch input exceeds a width of the predetermined output font size in the text output interface, the processor displays the text in the display unit in a unit of character.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein, when the length of the second touch input exceeds a predetermined length in the text output interface, the processor displays the text in the display unit in a unit of word.

6. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further provides a trigger interface that provides the text preview interface.

7. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor changes a position of the text preview interface on the basis of the position of the second touch input.

8. The display device according to claim 1, wherein, when a discontinuous touch input of the second touch input for providing the text output interface is detected, the processor displays next portion of the text displayed in the text output interface in response to a discontinuous touch input.

9. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first touch input includes a hovering input.

10. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further deletes the text displayed in the text preview interface in response to a third touch input, and

an amount of the text which is deleted is determined on the basis of a predetermined preview font size and a length of the third touch input.

11. The display device according to claim 10, wherein, when the text displayed in the text preview interface is deleted, the processor displays a text of the amount corresponding to the deleted text in next portion of the last text displayed in the text preview interface.

12. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further deletes the text displayed in the text output interface in response to a fourth touch input, and

an amount of the text which is deleted is determined on the basis of the predetermined output font size and a length of the fourth touch input.

13. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further converts an editing mode between the text output interface and the text preview interface in response to a fifth touch input.

14. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor further controls an area of the displayed text preview interface in response to a sixth touch input, and

wherein a size of a preview font size or the amount of the text displayed in the text preview interface is controlled on the basis of the area of the provided text preview interface.

15. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor displays the text preview interface semi-transparently, and displays the text output interface opaquely.

16. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the processor displays the text preview interface to one of lower, upper, left and right sides of the first touch input.

17. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the voice data correspond to voice received in real time or voice stored previously.

18. A display device for converting voice data to a text, the display device comprising:

a storage unit configured to store the voice data;

a display unit configured to display the text;

a sensor unit configured to detect a touch input to the display unit; and

a process configured to;
