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: 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 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.
