TEXT REPRODUCTION DEVICE, METHOD AND PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a text reproduction device, a method and a program for accurately locating the start of a voice.SOLUTION: A reproduction part reproduces voice data. A first acquisition part acquires a text input by a user. A setting part sets a sectioning position for sectioning the text in accordance with an input from a user during the reproduction of the voice data. A second acquisition part acquires the reproducing position of the voice data reproduced when the sectioning position is set. An estimation part performs the matching of a text in a periphery of the sectioning position and voice data in a periphery of the reproducing position, and estimates the more accurate position of the voice data corresponding to the sectioning position. A correction part corrects the reproducing position into the estimated more accurate position of the voice data, and when the sectioning position is designated by the user, performs setting so that the reproduction of the voice data can be started from the corrected reproducing position.
