Abstract
A method for outputting a text as audio, the method includes detecting a request for outputting a text as audio, searching for the text in a user input storage unit, searching for pronunciation data corresponding to the found text in the user input storage unit, and outputting an audio signal corresponding to the found pronunciation data. Other embodiments including an electronic device for converting audio into a text are disclosed.
Claims19
A method for converting a text into audio, the method comprising:
- detecting a request for outputting a text as audio;
- searching for the text in a user input storage unit;
- searching for pronunciation data corresponding to the found text in the user input storage unit;
- and
- outputting an audio signal corresponding to the found pronunciation data.
A machine-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program that when executed, causes a processing circuitry to:
- detect a request for outputting a text as audio;
- search for the text in a user input storage unit;
- search for pronunciation data corresponding to the found text in the user input storage unit;
- and
- output an audio signal corresponding to the found pronunciation data.
An electronic device for converting a text into audio, the electronic device comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a user input storage unit;
- and
- a controller configured to identify an event that requires output of a text as audio,
- search for pronunciation data corresponding to the text in the user input storage unit, and
- output the pronunciation data found in the user input storage unit as audio if the pronunciation data corresponding to the text exists in the user input storage unit.
An electronic device for converting audio into a text, the electronic device comprising:
- a storage unit comprising a user input storage unit;
- and
- a controller configured to convert audio into pronunciation data, searching for a text mapped to the pronunciation data in the user input storage unit, and output the text found in the user input storage unit if the text exists in the user input storage unit.
