Abstract

A speech file generating system and a speech file generating method are applicable to a data processing device. A resource access module is connected via a preset resource path to a speech resource supply device to access speech resources according to access conditions. Then, a format of the accessed speech resources are transformed by a file format transformation module into a preset file format, and the speech resources that fulfill the preset file format are subjected to post-processing by a process interface and tool of a post processing module. The post-processed speech resources are stored in a database. By the speech file generating system and method, a user can process the accessed speech resources into speech learning resources that fulfill particular requirements, so as to achieve a personalized language learning environment for increasing learning efficiency.

Claims

1. A speech file generating system applicable to a data processing device, the system comprising:

a resource access module connected to a speech resource supply device via a preset resource path, and for accessing speech resources according to access conditions;

a file format transformation module for transforming a format of the accessed speech resources into a preset file format;

a post processing module having a process interface and tool for post-processing the speech resources that fulfill the preset file format; and

a database for storing the post-processed speech resources.

2. The speech file generating system of claim 1, wherein the resource path includes a hard disk device, a compact disc storage device and an external storage unit that are connected to the data processing device, and a resource supply device fulfilling Uniform Resource Locator (URL) protocol.

3. The speech file generating system of claim 1, wherein the resource access module further provides an input interface for inputting the resource path via the data processing device.

4. The speech file generating system of claim 2, wherein the resource access module further stores the accessed speech resources in one of the hard disk device, the compact disc storage device and the external storage device that are connected to the data processing device.

5. The speech file generating system of claim 1, wherein the preset file format is one selected from the group consisting of “

.wav”

, “

.au”

, “

.snd”

, “

.voc”

, “

.aiff”

, “

.afc”

, “

.iff” and

“

.mat”

.

6. The speech file generating system of claim 5, wherein the file format transformation module transforms a speech file format of the speech resources other than the preset file format into the preset file format.

7. The speech file generating system of claim 6, wherein the speech file format other than the preset file format is one selected from the group consisting of “

.mp3”

, “

.wma” and

“

.rm”

.

8. The speech file generating system of claim 1, wherein the post processing module allows a user to perform via the data processing device at least one post process selected from the group consisting of interruption point searching, time spacing, original subtitling, and translation subtitling.

9. The speech file generating system of claim 2, wherein the database is mounted in the hard disk device, the compact disc storage device, or the external storage device.

10. A speech file generating method applicable to a data processing device, the method comprising the steps of:

providing a resource access module connected to a speech resource supply device via a preset resource path, and accessing speech resources via the resource access module according to access conditions;

providing a file format transformation module for transforming a format of the accessed speech resources into a preset file format;

providing a post processing module having a process interface and tool for post-processing the speech resources that fulfill the preset file format; and

providing a database for storing the post-processed speech resources.

11. The speech file generating method of claim 10, wherein the resource path includes a hard disk device, a compact disc storage device and an external storage unit that are connected to the data processing device, and a resource supply device fulfilling Uniform Resource Locator (URL) protocol.

12. The speech file generating method of claim 10, wherein the resource access module further provides an input interface for inputting the resource path via the data processing device.

13. The speech file generating method of claim 11, wherein the resource access module further stores the accessed speech resources in one of the hard disk device, the compact disc storage device and the external storage unit that are connected to the data processing device.

14. The speech file generating method of claim 10, wherein the preset file format is one selected from the group consisting of “

.wav”

, “

au”

, “

.snd”

, “

.voc”

, “

.aiff”

, “

.afc”

, “

.iff” and

“

.mat”

.

15. The speech file generating method of claim 14, wherein the file format transformation module transforms a speech file format of the speech resources other than the preset file format into the preset file format.

16. The speech file generating method of claim 15, wherein the speech file format other than the preset file format is one selected from the group consisting of “

.mp3”

, “

.wma” and

“

.rm”

.

17. The speech file generating method of claim 10, wherein the post processing module allows a user to perform via the data processing device at least one post process selected from the group consisting of interruption point searching, time spacing, original subtitling, and translation subtitling.

18. The speech file generating method of claim 11, wherein the database is mounted in the hard disk device, the compact disc storage device, or the external storage unit.
