COMPUTER OR WORD PROCESSOR PROVIDED WITH VOICE INPUT RECORDING FUNCTION AND CHARACTER RECOGNITION FUNCTION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sequentially take out a voice waveform of each voice while recording voice inputs by a voice recorder, and recognize/extract a character corresponding to the voice matching with the waveform of a reference voice, and then display/print the character. SOLUTION: Voice signals 2 from a voice input means 1 are sequentially outputted by the voice recorder 3 as a waveform 4 for each character. A standard waveform output circuit 14 outputs a corresponding character signal 16 to a character recognition circuit 17 in synchronization with the standard waveform signal 12 outputted to a comparison circuit 10. The comparison circuit 10 compares a shaped waveform signal 8 with the standard waveform signal 12, and outputs a degree of matching to a matching/mismatching discrimination circuit 15. The circuit 15 discriminates and judges the matching/mismatching, and outputs a matched signal 19 to the character recognition circuit 17 and a mismatched signal 20 to a display/print part 22. The display/ print part 22 displays/prints by the recognition (matched) signal 19, and a space for a single character by the mismatching signal 20. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
