Abstract: According to an embodiment, an annotation sharing method includes outputting a content; acquiring an annotation positioned in the content; calculating a position of the annotation in the content using information, that is related to the content and is usable for specifying the position of the annotation in the content, without using a body of the content; and storing the calculated position and the annotation in association with each other and in a readable manner.

Abstract: A transliteration support device according to an embodiment includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, a generation unit, and a reproduction unit. The acquisition unit acquires a text to be transliterated. The addition unit adds a transliteration tag indicating a transliteration setting of the text to the text. The extraction unit extracts a transliteration pattern in which a frequent appearance transliteration setting frequently appearing in the transliteration settings indicated by the transliteration tags and an applicable condition when the frequent appearance transliteration setting is applied to the text are in association with each other. The generation unit produces a synthesized voice using the transliteration pattern. The reproduction unit reproduces the produced synthesized voice.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transliteration work support apparatus include an input unit, an extraction unit, a presentation unit, a reception unit, and a correction unit. The input unit receives document information. The extraction unit extracts, as a correction part, a surface expression of the document information that matches a correction pattern expressing a plurality of surface expressions having the same regularity in way of correction in one form. The presentation unit presents a way of correction defined in accordance with the correction pattern used in the extraction of the correction part. The reception unit receives selection of the way of correction. The correction unit corrects the correction part based on the selected way of correction.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a transliteration work support device includes an analysis unit, a storage unit, an estimation unit, a construction unit, a correction unit, and an update unit. The analysis unit performs language analysis on document data and creates transliteration auxiliary information representing a way of transliteration of a word or a phrase in the document data. The storage unit stores a correction history representing a way of transliteration corrected in the past of the word or the phrase. The estimation unit estimates a correction place and a correction candidate of the document data or the transliteration auxiliary information from the history. The construction unit constructs work list information including work items corresponding to types of corrections according to the correction candidate and progress information. The correction unit corrects the document data or the transliteration auxiliary information.

Abstract: A communication supporting apparatus includes a supplemental example storing unit that stores a source language interpretation which is an interpretation of a semantic content of a source language sentence to be translated, and a supplemental example sentence which is an example of a sentence for supporting the semantic content, in association with each other; an input accepting unit that accepts the source language sentence input by a user; an analyzing unit that analyzes the semantic content of the source language sentence and outputs the source language interpretation; a search unit that searches for the supplemental example sentence associated with the source language interpretation from the supplemental example storing unit; and a translation unit that translates the source language sentence and the supplemental example sentence into a target language.

Abstract: A communication support apparatus includes an analyzing unit that analyzes an source language sentence to be translated into a target language, and outputs at least one source language interpretation candidate which is a candidate for interpretation of the source language sentence; a detecting unit that, when there are a plurality of the source language interpretation candidates, detects an ambiguous part which is a different part between the respective candidates in the plurality of source language interpretation candidates; a translation unit that translates the source language interpretation candidate except the ambiguous part into the target language.

Abstract: A transmitting section performs error-correcting coding of signal streams, converts the signal streams into a 2.sup.m -value quadrature amplitude-modulated radio signal, and transmits the radio signal to a channel. A receiving section receives the radio signal and generates signal streams having the same signal format as that of the above signal streams. An encoder codes a signal stream according to even and odd parity rules respectively set for the first and second half portions of a frame pulse. A decoder decodes a signal stream on the assumption that different parity rules are applied for the first and second half periods of the signal stream, and at the same time reproduces a frame pulse. This coded modulation scheme can eliminate uncertainty in the arrangement of signal streams in a rate converter.

Abstract: With the assumption of the bit number of one frame of a synchronous transport module to be S and the bit number of one radio frame in radio communication to be M, the bit number M of the radio frame is set to satisfy a relation S=K.M (K is a natural number other than 0). Hereby, the circuit construction of a SDH radio communiaction transmitter/receiver equipment is simplified and power consumption is reduced. In the case where a radio intermediate switching station is installed, the circuit construction of the intermediate station is simplified and power consumptuion is reduced.
