Abstract: The present disclosure provides a speech editor for creating a session file having text segments synchronized with an audio file. The editor receives a text segment and a first file that has tag information lines associated with the text segment. Each tag information line has a portion of original text transcribed from the audio file and a corresponding audio length value. The editor stores the audio length of a current line in a new tag information line for the second file, determines whether the original text portion of the current line is found in the text segment, and if the original text portion of the current line is not found in the text segment, identifies a corrected text of the text segment adjusting the audio length of the new tag information line of the session file to correspond to the corrected text.

Abstract: A method for locating an audio segment within an audio file comprising (i) providing a first transcribed text file associated with the audio file; (ii) providing a second transcribed text file associated with the audio file; (iii) receiving a user input defining a text segment corresponding to the audio segment to be located; (iv) searching for the text segment in the first transcribed text file; and (v) displaying only those occurrences of the text segment within the first transcribed text file that are also a match to occurrences of the text segment within the second transcribed text file.

Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a speech editor for creating a second file have text segments synchronized with an audio file. The editor receives a text segment and a first file that has tag information lines associated with the text segment. Each tag information line has a portion of original text transcribed from the audio file and a corresponding audio length value. The editor stores the audio length of a current line in a new tag information line for the second file, determines whether the original text portion of the current line is found in the text segment, and if the original text portion of the current line is not found in the text segment, identifies a corrected text of the text segment and adjusts the audio length of the new tag information line of the second file to correspond to the corrected text.

Abstract: A method to creating a final text from an audio file comprising (a) transcribing the audio file into a transcribed text file using a speech recognition software; (b) loading a first widow with the transcribed text file; (c) loading a second window with a previously created text file; (d) comparing the transcribed text file and the previously created file to find differences between the text in the transcribed text file and the text in the previously created text file; (e) correcting the transcribed text file based upon the differences to create the final text. The method may also include searching for the previously created text file.

Abstract: The invention includes a computer implemented method to map an audio file to a verbatim text file. First, a first window may be loaded with a transcribed text file having words. The transcribed text file is associated with the audio file. A second window is loaded with the verbatim text file having a plurality of words. At least one word from the transcribed text file and at least one word from the verbatim text file are selected. The at least one word from the transcribed text file and the at least one word from the verbatim text file is linked. The steps are repeated until all the words in the verbatim text file have been linked.
