  • Patent number: 11404064
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first detector, a textualization device, a second detector, a display device and a display controller. The first detector detects, from audio data in which speech of each person in a group composed of a plurality of persons has been recorded, each utterance made during the speech. The textualization device converts contents of each utterance detected by the first detector into text. The second detector detects predetermined keywords included in each utterance on the basis of text data obtained through textualization by the textualization device. The display controller causes the display device to display the predetermined keywords detected by the second detector.

  • Patent number: 11282518
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus as an image forming apparatus includes an utterance period detecting section, a simple response/statement determining section, and an HDD. The utterance period detecting section detects utterance periods of utterances of each person from voice data. The simple response/statement determining section converts the voice data to a text, determines, when the utterance in the detected utterance period falling within a first period contains any predetermined keyword, that the utterance is a simple response, determines the utterance made for a second period longer than the first period to be a statement, and extracts, for each person, a frequent keyword appearing a predetermined number of times or more in the utterances. The HDD stores determination results of the simple response/statement determining section, the utterance periods for the simple responses, and the utterance periods for the statements, together with the frequent keyword.
