Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a counting mechanism configured to count a number of prescribed parts of a content of speech, a speech time measuring mechanism for measuring time of the speech and a calculating mechanism for calculating speed of the speech based on the number of the prescribed parts counted by the counting mechanism and time of the speech measured by the speech time measuring mechanism.
Claims22
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a counter configured to count a number of prescribed parts of a contents of a speech;
- a speech time measurer configured to measure a time duration of the speech;
- and
- a calculator configured to calculate a speed of the speech based on the number of the prescribed parts counted by the counter and time duration of the speech measured by the speech time measurer, said speech being recorded speech, and said calculator calculating the speed with at least one of hardware and software without human intervention.
A computer-implemented information processing method, comprising the steps of:
- counting a number of prescribed parts of a contents of a speech;
- measuring a time duration of the speech;
- and
- calculating speed of the speech based on the number of the prescribed parts counted in the counting step and the time duration of the speech measured in the measuring step, wherein said calculator calculating the speed with at least one of hardware and software without human intervention.
A computer program product having instructions that when executed by a processor perform which allows a computer to execute steps comprising:
- a counter configured to count a number of prescribed parts of a contents of a speech;
- a speech time measurer configured to measure time duration of the speech;
- and
- a calculator configured to calculate a speed of the speech based on the counted number of the prescribed parts counted by the counter and time duration of the speech measured by the speech time.
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- means for counting the number of prescribed parts of the contents of a speech;
- means for measuring time of the speech;
- and
- means for calculating a speed of the speech based on the number of the prescribed parts counted by means for counting and time of the speech measured by the means for measuring.
