Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a dividing unit, an assigning unit, and a generating unit. The dividing unit is configured to divide speech data into pieces of utterance data. The assigning unit is configured to assign speaker identification information to each piece of utterance data based on an acoustic feature of the each piece of utterance data. The generating unit is configured to generate a candidate list that indicates candidate speaker names so as to enable a user to determine a speaker name to be given to the piece of utterance data identified by instruction information, based on operation history information in which at least pieces of utterance identification information, pieces of the speaker identification information, and speaker names given by the user to the respective pieces of utterance data are associated with one another.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a memory controller stores, in a memory, character strings in voice text obtained through voice recognition on voice data, a node index, a recognition score, and a voice index. A detector detects reproduction section of the voice data. An obtainer obtains reading of a phrase in a text written down from the reproduced voice data, and obtains insertion position of character strings. A searcher searches for a character string including the reading. A determiner determines whether to perform display based on the recognition score corresponding to the retrieved character string. A history updater stores, in a memory, candidate history data indicating the retrieved character string, the recognition score, and the character insertion position. A threshold updater decides on a display threshold value using the recognition score of the candidate history data and/or the recognition score of the character string selected by a selector.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a character input device includes a first obtainer, a determiner, a first generator, and an outputter. The first obtainer receives an input of characters from a user and obtains an input character string. The determiner infers, from the input character string, word notations intended by the user and relations of connection between the word notations and to determine routes each of which represents the relation of connection having a high likelihood of serving as a notation candidate intended by the user. The first generator extracts, from a group of word notations included in the routes, the word notations to be output and generate layout information used in outputting the extracted word notations as the notation candidates. The outputter outputs the layout information.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transcription support device includes a first voice acquisition unit, a second voice acquisition unit, a recognizer, a text acquisition unit, an information acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a controller. The first voice acquisition unit acquires a first voice to be transcribed. The second voice acquisition unit acquires a second voice uttered by a user. The recognizer recognizes the second voice to generate a first text. The text acquisition unit acquires a second text obtained by correcting the first text by the user. The information acquisition unit acquires reproduction information representing a reproduction section of the first voice. The determination unit determines a reproduction speed of the first voice on the basis of the first voice, the second voice, the second text, and the reproduction information. The controller reproduces the first voice at the determined reproduction speed.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a text generator includes a recognizer, a selector, and a generation unit. The recognizer is configured to recognize an acquired sound and obtain recognized character strings in recognition units and confidence levels of the recognized character strings. The selector is configured to select at least one of the recognized character strings used for a transcribed sentence on the basis of at least one of a parameter about transcription accuracy and a parameter about a workload needed for transcription. The generation unit is configured to generate the transcribed sentence using the selected recognized character strings.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a text reproduction device includes a setting unit, an acquiring unit, an estimating unit, and a modifying unit. The setting unit is configured to set a pause position delimiting text in response to input data that is input by the user during reproduction of speech data. The acquiring unit is configured to acquire a reproduction position of the speech data being reproduced when the pause position is set. The estimating unit is configured to estimate a more accurate position corresponding to the pause position by matching the text around the pause position with the speech data around the reproduction position. The modifying unit is configured to modify the reproduction position to the estimated more accurate position in the speech data, and set the pause position so that reproduction of the speech data can be started from the modified reproduction position when the pause position is designated by the user.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the image processing apparatus includes a printing control unit, an image reading unit, an extracting unit, a difference image extracting unit, and a determination unit. The printing control unit controls printing of a plurality of pages on one sheet of paper according to a print setting information which indicates a printing form, and printing of a code indicating the print setting information on the paper. The image reading unit read the paper. The extracting unit extracts the code from the read image. The difference image extracting unit extracts a difference image between the printed image and the read image.
