1. A system for assisting note-taking of an utterance of a speaker, comprising:

  • a terminal for note-takers that is used by a note-taker who performs the note-taking; and

    an information delivery device that transmits speech data of the utterance to the terminal,wherein the information delivery device includes;

    a breathing detection unit that specifies silent sections from speech of the utterance, and specifies a silent section that satisfies a set condition, among the specified silent sections, as a breathing section of the speaker;

    a data processing unit that determines, for every allocated time period that is allocated to the note-taker, whether the breathing section exists in a range that is based on an end point of the allocated time period, and generates, in a case where the breathing section exists in the range, speech data of the utterance from a start point of the allocated time period until the breathing section, and, in a case where the breathing section does not exist in the range, speech data of the utterance from the start point until the end point of the allocated time period; and

    a data transmission unit that transmits the speech data generated by the data processing unit to the terminal of the note-taker to whom the allocated time period is allocated, andthe terminal for note-takers includes;

    a data reception unit that receives the speech data transmitted from the information delivery device;

    an input unit that accepts input of text data that is input in correspondence to the speech data; and

    a data transmission unit that transmits the text data whose input was accepted to a terminal for users that is used by a user of the note-taking,wherein the information delivery device and the terminal are realized by a computer, wherein in the computer realizing the information delivery device, a CPU of the computer functions as the breathing detection unit, the data processing unit, and data transmission unit, wherein in the computer realizing the terminal, a CPU of the computer functions as the data reception unit, the input unit, and the data transmission unit.
