Abstract
An audio recording apparatus comprises: a recording process for recording audio; a receiving process for receiving an indicated go-back time; and a processor that executes an information appending process that appends information associated with a time going back by the go-back time from a base time, linked to audio in the recording, in accordance with a user's instructions.
Claims17
An audio recording apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to execute the following processes:
- a process of receiving a process-starting manipulation by a user;
- a process of recording audio occurring, from a start time of the process-staring operation in response to the reception of the process-starting manipulation while associating the audio with a recording time that starts at the start time of the process-starting operation;
- a process of displaying an audio waveform of the audio recorded from the start time at a location of a display corresponding to the recording time;
- a process of displaying:
- an indicator at a current time point corresponding to a current time of the audio waveform, an indicator at a first go-back time point corresponding to a time earlier by the length of a first go-back time than the current time, and an indicator at a second go-back time point corresponding to a time earlier by the length of a second go-back time than the current time, the second go-back time being different from the first go-back time in length from the current time;
- a process of receiving optional selection of one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point in response to manipulation by a user;
- a process of appending appended information to the audio while associating the appended information with an audio-recording time point corresponding to the one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point that is selected in response to the manipulation by the user.

An audio recording method including the following steps:
- receiving a process-starting manipulation by a user;
- recording audio occurring from a start time of a process-starting operation in response to the reception of the process-starting manipulation while associating the audio with a recording time that starts at the start time of the process-starting operation;
- displaying an audio waveform of the audio recorded from the start time at a location of a display corresponding to the recording time;
- displaying an indicator at a current time point corresponding to a current time of the audio waveform, an indicator at a first go-back time point corresponding to a time earlier by a length of first go-back time than the current time, and an indicator at a second go-back time point corresponding to a time earlier by a length of second go-back time than the current time, the second go-back time being different from the first go-back time in length from the current time;
- receiving optional selection of one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point in response to manipulation by a user;
- and
- appending appended information to the audio while associating the appended information with an audio-recording time point corresponding to the one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point that is selected in response to the manipulation by the user.

A non-transitory recording medium on which is recorded a program for causing a computer of an audio recording apparatus to execute the following processes:
- a process of receiving a process-starting manipulation by a user;
- a process of recording audio occurring from a start time of a process-starting operation in response to the reception of the process-starting manipulation while associating the audio with a recording time that starts at the start time of the process-starting operation;
- a process of displaying an audio waveform of the audio recorded from the start time at a location of a display corresponding to the recording time;
- a process of displaying an indicator at a current time point of the audio waveform corresponding to a current time, an indicator at a first go-back time point of the audio waveform corresponding to a time earlier by a length of first go-back time than the current time, and an indicator at a second go-back time point of the audio waveform corresponding to a time earlier by a length of second go-back time than the current time, the second go-back time being different from the first go-back time in length from the current time;
- a process of receiving optional selection of one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point in response to manipulation by a user;
- and
- a process of appending appended information to the audio while associating the appended information with an audio-recording time point corresponding to the one of the first go-back time point and the second go-back time point that is selected in response to the manipulation by the user.
