SOUND REPRODUCING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sound reproducing system capable of solving a conventional problem that, a reproduction of a voice content in a shadow-reproduction mode is followed by a voiceless period to reproduce voice content of same length; even after the learning of the user has developed, the user is required to wait the termination of the reproduction in the voiceless mode.SOLUTION: The sound reproducing system includes: operation means for operating reproduction of a voice content; reproduction means for reproducing the voice content; and control means that controls the reproduction by the reproduction means to perform reproduction in a voiceless mode for a predetermined period of time after reproducing the voice content of a predetermined segment. When receiving a voiceless period terminate instruction from a user through the operation means during voiceless reproducing, the control means stores a reproduction instructed time and returns to the top of a predetermined segment immediately before the voice content and reproduces the same. When reaching the stored reproduction time, the control means controls to return to the top of the predetermined segment of the immediately before the voice content and reproduces the same repeatedly. When receiving a cancellation instruction of voiceless period termination time from the user through the operation means, the control means controls to cancel the stored reproduction time and controls to reproduce the voice content in normal mode. 【課題】シャドーイング再生時に音声コンテンツが再生された後、同じ時間無音が続き、再度音声コンテンツ、同じ時間無音の再生を繰り返すため、ユーザの学習が深まってきた後でも長い間、無音区間の再生が終了するまで待つ必要があった。【解決手段】音声コンテンツの再生を操作する操作手段と、音声コンテンツを再生する再生手段と、音声コンテンツの所定区間の再生後、所定時間無音再生するように再生手段の再生を制御する制御手段と、を備え、制御手段は、操作手段により無音再生中にユーザからの無音区間終了指示を受けた時、指示を受けた再生時刻を記憶し、直前の音声コンテンツの所定区間の先頭に戻って再生し、記憶した再生時刻に到達すると直前の音声コンテンツの所定区間の先頭に戻って繰り返し再生する制御を行い、操作手段によりユーザからの無音区間終了時刻のキャンセル指示を受けた時、記憶していた再生時刻を無効にして、再生する制御を行う。【選択図】図１
