PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To take timewise correspondence between the voice, in which a pause exists, and an electronic manuscript. ;SOLUTION: The electronic manuscript corresponding to a news item is read, keywords are segmented from each sentence of the item by a keyword extracted extracting section 4 and each keyword is converted into a phoneme symbol column. Then, a keyword model is constructed by a voice keyword collating section 8. Then, the voice corresponding to the item is read, the pause interval in the voice is determined by an acoustic analysis section 2 and the voice interval is converted to respective acoustic parameters. Then, the candidate of the keywords portion is obtained from the voices using the keyword model and the obtained keyword collating result is generated as a collating lattice. Then, an optimum collating column is located among the lattice by an optimum collating column locating section 10, the starting time of the voice corresponding to the top of each sentence is outputted in accordance with the located optimum collating column and the timewise correspondence between the voice and the manuscript is found by using the time information.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
