  • Publication number: 20220415329
    Abstract: Provided is a storage system for voice recording information based on a blockchain. The storage system for voice recording information comprises: a voice-to-text conversion device for converting a voice recording file into a text file using a preset voice-to-text conversion algorithm, and outputting the converted text file and information on the voice-to-text conversion algorithm; a blockchain network consisting of a plurality of participating nodes, and configured to generate blocks including the text file and information on the voice-to-text conversion algorithm output from the voice-to-text conversion device according to a preset consensus algorithm, and to store the generated blocks on the blockchain; and a data storage device for storing the original voice recording file, wherein the storage system reliably stores the text file for the voice recording file.
