Abstract

A recording support method includes: receiving audio data; acquiring voice data from the audio data; receiving or generating text data corresponding to the voice data; storing at least part of the voice data and at least part of the text data corresponding to the at least part of the voice data; and output the received or generated text data, and wherein the stored at least part of the voice data and the stored at least part of the text data are associated each other, and wherein the at least part of voice data comprises one or more units.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

an audio processing unit configured to receive audio data, and to acquire voice data from the audio data;

a control unit configured to receive or generate text data corresponding to the voice data, and to store at least part of the voice data and at least part of the text data corresponding to the at least part of the voice data, wherein the stored at least part of the voice data and the stored at least part of the text data are associated each other, and wherein the at least part of the voice data comprises one or more units; and

a display unit configured to output the received or generated text data.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the one or more units comprises at least one of a voice data unit or a text data unit.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2, wherein the voice data unit or the text data unit comprises at least one of syllable, morpheme, word, phrase, and verse.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit is configured to extract the at least part of the voice data from the voice data by identifying a section in which voice isn'"'"'t recognized between the at least part of the voice and another part of the voice data.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4, wherein the control unit is configured to identify timestamp information on the time at which a specific frequency waveform corresponding to the at least part of the voice starts and the time at which the specific frequency waveform ends.

6. The electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the received or generated text data is in a language corresponding to the voice data, and

wherein the control unit is configured to translate the received or generated text data into another text data for another language.

7. The electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the control unit is configured to synchronize the stored at least part of the voice data and the stored at least part of the text data by using the identified timestamp information to store the at least part of the voice data and the at least part of the text data by associating each other.

8. The electronic device according to claim 5, wherein the control unit is configured to, when video data including the voice data is recorded:

identify each of timestamp information on start time and end time of the at least part of the voice data, and

synchronize the at least part of the voice data and at least part of the video data corresponding to the at least part of the voice data.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1, wherein the storing of the at least part of voice data and text data is performed in response to receiving a signal selecting the output text data.

10. A recording support method comprising:

receiving audio data;

acquiring voice data from the audio data;

receiving or generating text data corresponding to the voice data;

storing at least part of the voice data and at least part of the text data corresponding to the at least part of the voice data; and

output the received or generated text data, and

wherein the stored at least part of the voice data and the stored at least part of the text data are associated each other, and

wherein the at least part of voice data comprises one or more units.

11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the one or more units comprises at least one of a voice data unit or a text data unit.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the voice data unit or the text data unit comprises at least one of syllable, morpheme, word, phrase, and verse.

13. The method according to claim 10, further comprising:

extracting the at least part of the voice data from the voice data by identifying a section in which voice isn'"'"'t recognized between the at least part of the voice and another part of the voice data.

14. The method according to claim 13, further comprising:

identifying timestamp information on a time at which a specific frequency waveform corresponding to the at least part of the voice starts and a time at which the specific frequency waveform ends.

15. The method according to claim 14, wherein the received or generated text data is in a language corresponding to the voice data, and

further comprising:

translating the received or generated text data into another text data for another language.

16. The method according to claim 14, further comprising:

synchronizing the stored at least part of the voice data and the stored at least part of the text data by using the identified timestamp information to store the at least part of the voice data and the at least part of the text data by associating each other.

17. The method according to claim 14, further comprising, when video data including the voice data is recorded:

identifying each of timestamp information on start time and end time of the at least part of the voice data, and

synchronizing the at least part of the voice data and at least part of the video data corresponding to the at least part of the voice data.

18. The method according to claim 10, wherein the storing of the at least part of the voice data and the at least part of the text data is performed in response to receiving a signal selecting the output text data.
