First, a user records a mail by voice using the recorder 2 on the second recording medium 22 or the like (step S1).

Next, the second recording medium 22 is mounted on the personal computer 1, and the audio data recorded therein is taken in (step S2).

Then, the read information is recognized by voice,
The e-mail is transmitted to the destination specified by the recognized destination address as a mail (step S3).

Then, the destination receives the mail (step S4).

The overall operation is performed by such a flow.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing details of the voice mail recording operation in step S1.

When recording is started using the recorder 2, the user first speaks the destination to record (step S11). After the user finishes speaking the destination, the user then indicates that it is a break. Then, an index mark is recorded by pressing an index button provided on the recorder 2 (step S12).

Next, the subject to be the title of the mail is recorded by uttering it (step S13), and similarly, an index mark is recorded to indicate that it is a break (step S14).

Thereafter, the body of the message is recorded by the user uttering (step S15), and when the utterance of the body ends, the voice mail recording operation ends.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing details of the voice recognition and mail transmission operations in step S3.

When this operation is started, first, it is checked whether or not there is an index mark (I mark) in the voice data of the recorded voice mail (step S21). Since the destination is recorded from the beginning of the voice data of the received voice mail to the first I mark (see FIG. 3), the voice data portion is voice-recognized to convert the destination into text data. Conversion is performed (step S22).

As for the voice recognition performed here, a method of directly recognizing a destination address recorded by vocalization and a method of preparing an address book in advance and, when speaking, the name of the registered address book By recording the name of the address book, and automatically converting the name of the address book into a destination address.

Subsequently, from the first I mark to the second I mark,
Since the subject is recorded before the mark (see FIG. 3), the subject is converted into text data by voice-recognizing the voice data portion (step S23).

If there is no index mark in the step S21, the address and the subject are manually input by the operation unit 15 of the personal computer 1 (step S24).

This step S24 or the above step S
After the end of 23, it is checked whether the text recorded after the second I mark is to be converted to text and transmitted (step S25).

When converting to text, speech recognition of the text is executed (step S26), and it is confirmed whether or not the recognition result is correct (step S27). If not, correction is made (step S28).

When the recognition result becomes correct, unnecessary voice data is deleted (step S).
29) The text body is transmitted to the destination specified by the destination (step S30), and the process ends.

In step S25, if the text is not converted to text by speech recognition, the subject and destination portions for which speech recognition has already been performed are deleted from the voice data, so that the data size is larger than the text. The voice data portion is reduced (step S31), and the text as it is is transmitted as voice mail to the destination specified by the destination (step S32), and the process ends.

In step S29, the audio data is deleted after the conversion into text. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Both the audio data and the text are transmitted according to the user's request. It is also possible.

In the above-described speech recognition and mail transmission, if the text is not set to text at first, the execution instruction is given only after the speech data is fetched from the second recording medium 22. Thus, the e-mail can be transmitted immediately without performing another operation or the like.

As described above, in the mail received at the transmission destination, the subject whose speech is recognized at the time of transmission is displayed as text. The contents of the text sent as text can be read by displaying it, and those sent as voice mail as voice data can be played back to check the content of the message audibly. can do.

In the above description, the recording is performed on the recorder 2 in the order of the destination, the subject, and the text. However, the recording is not limited to this order. For example, the order of the text, the destination, and the subject may be used. The order may be as follows.

Also, if there is only the text and the destination, it is possible to send the contents to be transmitted to the destination, so that the subject can be omitted.

In the above description, index marks are inserted between the destination and the subject and between the subject and the body, respectively, to perform these divisions. However, specific voice keywords are set beforehand. The voice keyword may be classified. For example, after uttering the destination, utter the voice keyword "subject", and then utter the subject content, and when the subject is uttered, utter the next voice keyword "body" and then the content of the text. May be uttered. These "subjects"
The voice part such as "text" can be recognized as a predetermined voice keyword by performing voice recognition.

On the other hand, in the above description, audio data is recorded by the recorder 2, but the personal computer 1
If a microphone or the like is connected to the personal computer 1, mail transmission can be performed only with the personal computer 1.

Further, if the recorder 2 is provided with a voice recognition function and a mail transmission function, it is possible to immediately transmit a mail only by the recorder 2.

According to such an embodiment, by using a recorder in combination with a personal computer or the like operated by a voice information transmission program which is mail software having a voice recognition function, an environment without a personal computer can be used. Even if there is a recorder, the contents of the message you want to send as e-mail (body)
Can be recorded (created).

As in the case of the text, if the destination and the subject are also uttered to the recorder and recorded, there is no need to specify these again on the personal computer. Can be transmitted, and operability can be improved.

In particular, when a large number of voice messages are to be sent at once, conventionally, after recording the main body of each voice message, the subject and destination are checked again while confirming the content of each voice message again on the personal computer. Although the operation was troublesome to specify, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to specify the destination and the subject at the time of recording as described above. Since it is released and can be transmitted by one operation, operability is greatly improved.

As for the subject and the destination, since the voice data part is deleted after the speech recognition, the amount of data to be transmitted can be reduced, and the subject and the destination need not be heard on the receiver side. Can be prevented from being annoying as a voice.

If the text is also converted to text by performing voice recognition, the data amount can be reduced and the transmission time can be reduced. In addition, both the text converted text and the text as voice data are transmitted. According to this configuration, the receiver can visually recognize the received voice mail using characters and can also recognize the received voice mail aurally using voice, so that the contents can be easily understood.

Further, even when the user forgets to insert the index mark, the user can manually input the index mark on the personal computer later, so that the operation mode of the user can be flexibly dealt with and the usability is improved.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various modifications and applications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
