Abstract: A voice recognition apparatus includes: a communication circuit acquiring a speech sentence that is a result of voice recognition of a speech; a storage storing digit number information indicative of the maximum number of digits; and a control circuit. When the number of digits of a first numerical value indicated by a first numeral included in the speech sentence is larger than the maximum number of digits, the control circuit replaces the first numeral in the speech sentence with a second numeral indicative of a second numerical value having the number of digits equal to or less than the maximum number of digits. The control circuit divides the first numeral into a plurality of numerals and adds numerical values respectively indicated by the plurality of numerals to calculate the second numerical value.

Abstract: An utterance analysis device including; a calculator that receives utterance data in order of time series and analyzes a change in the utterances by using a plurality of first likelihoods, which are each values for identifying a possibility that the utterance data corresponds to each category; and a display processor that displays visualization data visualizing the change in the utterances which is obtained by the calculator. The calculator determines a second likelihood for each category by integrating the first likelihoods of a plurality of pieces of utterance data in a second period which is shorter than the first period. The visualization data displayed by the display processor represents a change in the utterances based on a change in the second likelihood of each category in a plurality of different second periods.

Abstract: An utterance analysis device including: a storage that stores a plurality of piece's of related information each relating to one of a plurality of categories; a control circuit that receives utterance data of an utterer in order of time series, and analyzes content of the utterance data by using a plurality of first likelihoods, which are each values for identifying a possibility that the utterance data acquired by the acquire corresponds to each category; and a display processor that displays, under control of the control circuit, display data including link information indicating an association for displaying related information relating to the category of the utterance data from the storage.

Abstract: A translation device includes a speech recognition unit, a storage, a translation processor, and an information acquisition unit. The speech recognition unit recognizes a voice to generate a spoken sentence in a first language. The storage stores a plurality of example sentences each including a parameter representing a category corresponding to a plurality of terms. The translation processor searches the plurality of example sentences stored in the storage for an example sentence on the basis of the spoken sentence as a search result example sentence, and generates a converted sentence based on the search result example sentence. The information acquisition unit acquires specific information representing a specific term which corresponds to a specific parameter. If the search result example sentence includes the specific parameter, the translation processor generates the converted sentence based on the specific term represented by the specific information.

Abstract: A translation device includes a character string output unit, a fixed phrase acquisition unit, a matching unit, a division processor, and a translation result output unit. The character string output unit outputs a plurality of character strings each configuring at least part of text in a first language and including a head character of the text, in order of character string length. The fixed phrase acquisition unit acquires a fixed phrase in the first language associated with a translation phrase in a second language. The matching unit calculates a similarity between each of the character strings and the fixed phrase in order of the character string length. The division processor divides the text at a position achieving a maximum similarity among values of the similarity exceeding a first threshold. The translation result output unit outputs the translation phrase as translation of the text thus divided.

Abstract: A translation device includes an input unit and a controller. The input unit obtains first text data in a first language. The controller generates second text data in a second language that is a translation of the first text data. The controller further generates first replacement data by replacing a first term, of a predetermined type, contained in the first text data by a parameter, obtains second replacement data, in the second language, corresponding to the first replacement data, and generates the second text data by replacing the parameter contained in the second replacement data by a second term in the second language that is a translation of the first term.

Abstract: Provided is an information acquisition method in an information acquisition system including an information device possessed by a user. A detecting step detects a specific action performed by the user while driving a motor vehicle. A first saving step acquires and saves, in a storage unit, motor vehicle position information indicating a position of the motor vehicle if the specific action is detected by the detecting step. A deleting step deletes the motor vehicle position information from the storage unit in a case in which the specific action is an action other than an action of speaking a voice phrase, and when a designated time elapses in a case in which the user does not perform an action of speaking a voice phrase from a time at which the specific action was detected and before the designated time elapses.
