Upon receiving an input of an instruction to perform speech playback, the processor transmits recording information in association with text displayed on the display unit to a recorder. The recorder transmits speech data corresponding to the recording information to the processor. The processor plays back speech data corresponding to the recording information.

Abstract: A call and recorded information management server transmits a requested call identification ID for recognition and an incoming call number corresponding to the ID, to a voice recognition server, which searches for the recognition engine corresponding to the number of the received call, and adds the received ID to a recognition queue. The voice recognition server requests the call and recorded information management server to obtain recorded data by the received ID. The call and recorded information management server transfers the recorded data corresponding to the ID to the voice recognition server to perform voice recognition by the corresponding recognition engine on the recorded data corresponding to the call identification ID stored in the recognition queue, and stores the result as text data. Thus, the most appropriate voice recognition engine can be used and the recognition rate of voice recognition can be increased.
