Reading-aloud information editing device, reading-aloud information editing method, and computer program product

A reading-aloud information editing method comprising:

• acquiring an edit region comprising a first text associated with reading-aloud information from a document;
• analyzing a document structure of the edit region;
• generating a plurality of condition patterns by abstracting the edit region step by step based at least in part on the document structure, each of the condition patterns being a pattern that is generated by abstracting the document structure of the first text of the edit region in accordance with a degree of abstraction;
• generating an extraction condition for extracting at least one second text from the document, the extraction condition comprising at least two of the condition patterns;
• extracting the at least one second text suitable for the extraction condition from the document;
• detecting a difference between the condition patterns suitable for the at least one second text;
• and
• outputting on a display device the at least one second text extracted so that the difference is clearly displayed.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program, wherein the program, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute:

• acquiring an edit region comprising a first text associated with reading-aloud information from a document;
• analyzing a document structure of the edit region;
• generating a plurality of condition patterns by abstracting the edit region step by step based at least in part on the document structure, each of the condition patterns being a pattern that is generated by abstracting the document structure of the first text of the edit region in accordance with a degree of abstraction;
• generating an extraction condition for extracting at least one second text from the document, the extraction condition comprising at least two of the condition patterns;
• extracting the at least one second text suitable for the extraction condition from the document;
