次に,この装置の動作を説明する。Next, the operation of this device will be explained.
まず,離散発声的に「私は山田です」なる音声をマイク
1を介してTP9に装着されたカセツト9aに録音し,
さらに TP9からカセツト9aを外し,ASTP10
にカセツト9aを装着し録音部分を再生する場合を考え
る。First, the voice ``I am Yamada'' was recorded in discrete utterances through the microphone 1 into the cassette 9a attached to the TP9.
Furthermore, remove cassette 9a from TP9, and
Let us consider the case where the cassette 9a is attached to the cassette 9a and the recorded portion is played back.
第3図(A)に示すようにカセツト9aには「ワタシワ

検出し,第3図(C)に示すようにパルスを発生する,
これにより,第3(F)に示すようにCT11はAST
P10の再生動作を停止される。As shown in FIG. 3(A), the audio signal ``Watashiwayamadadesu'' is continuously recorded in discrete utterances in the cassette 9a. When reproducing the audio signal "wa", there is a blank time of about 0.2 seconds or more after "wa", so the SA2a detects this blank part and generates a pulse as shown in Figure 3(C).
As a result, CT11 becomes AST as shown in 3rd (F).
The playback operation of P10 is stopped.

0を停止させ,再び再生させる。As a result, the CT 11 puts the ASTP 10 into the reproduction state again, and reproduces the next audio signal "ta". The reproduced audio signal "ta" is applied to the SA 2a, converted into a character signal "ta", and then written into the memory 5 via the CPU 4. At this time, SA2a generates a pulse before and after recognition, and CT11 accordingly
0 is stopped and played again.

ASTP10 uses “wa” and “ta” for “watashiwayamadades”.
, "shi", "wa", "ya", "ma", "da", "de",
The audio signals are reproduced while being divided into "su", and after these divided audio signals are converted into character signals via the SA 2a, they are written into the memory 5 from the CPU 4.

設置場所に話者を拘束しておく必要がなくなる。As described above, according to the present invention, since speech is once recorded on the recording means and speech recognition is performed while playing it back, there is no reduction in the recognition rate due to noise surrounding the speech recognition device, and the speaker can listen to the speech at any time. When a sentence is conceived, it can be recorded on tape, for example, and there is no need to restrain the speaker at the location where the device is installed during recognition or transcription.
また,電話を介して話者が文章化することも容易となる
。電話ではWPの空き
状態が判らないため,WPが空き状態になるのを待つて
又は何度も電話してWPに文章化指示をしなければなら
ないが。It also becomes easier for the speaker to transcribe text over the phone. Since it is not possible to determine the availability of a WP over the phone, you have to wait for the WP to become available or make multiple phone calls to instruct the WP to write text.
