DATA GENERATING DEVICE, DATA GENERATING PROGRAM, AND REPRODUCTION SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data generating device for generating linked display data for displaying a text including a character string not provided with reading by a predetermined timing coinciding with sound reproduction. SOLUTION: The data generating device for generating linked display data for displaying a text by a predetermined timing coinciding with sound reproduction generates a language string by extracting a feature parameter from a spectrum component of a sound bandpass included in sound source data, classifies the text into a plurality of character strings for applying a reading to each character string, generates linked display data including the character strings provided with reading and time stamp information indicating a timing of reproduction of the character string in a language string with the same reading, and allots a time zone of a predetermined length to the character string not provided with reading based on the time stamp information of the character string immediately before the character string not provided with reading so that the character string not provided with reading and the time stamp information indicating the time zone allotted to the character string are included in the linked display data.
