An electronic device comprising:
- a touchscreen;
- a microphone;
- memory storing a video;
- a sound output module;
- and
- a controller operatively coupled to the touchscreen and being configured to:
- control the touchscreen to display a playback screen providing video playback of the video, wherein audio included in the video is output through the sound output module during the video playback of the video;
- control the electronic device to enter a mode for recording the audio in response to a predetermined input with respect to the playback screen, wherein the microphone is activated when the mode for recording the audio is started;
- record the audio output through the sound output module in the mode for recording the audio, wherein the recording of the audio output occurs during the video playback of the video;
- cause the touchscreen to display text generated from converting the recorded audio into the text, wherein the displayed text corresponds to the audio of the displayed video playback of the video and is displayed during the video playback of the video;
- receive a drag input with respect to only a selected portion of the displayed text such that the displayed text comprises the selected portion and a remaining portion of text, wherein the displayed text remains in a fixed spatial relationship within the playback screen during the receiving of the drag input;
- and
- control the touchscreen to display a cancel indicator overlaid with the selected portion of the displayed text and not overlaid with the remaining portion of the text, wherein the cancel indicator indicates that the selected portion is not to be included in an audio file, wherein the cancel indicator, the selected portion, and the remaining portion of text, are all displayed after the drag input is received;
- store, in the memory, the audio file that includes audio for the remaining portion of text but does not include audio for the selected portion of the displayed text;
- wherein the video includes at least one item and the controller is further configured to:
- cause the touchscreen to display an indicator for associating the recorded audio with the at least one item displayed on the touchscreen;
- when an input for associating the indicator with any one item of the at least one item is received, mapping the recorded audio to the one item;
