When the "conversion" key is operated, the dictionary 12 is indexed, kana-kanji conversion processing is performed, and the sentence is converted into a sentence containing kanji. At this time, the input kana character string and the converted sentence containing kanji are displayed on the display unit 13 for confirmation by the operator, and the kanji-mixed sentence converted from kana to kanji is stored in the document memory 15.

The kana character string input in this way is successively converted into kana-kanji characters and stored in the document memory 15.

b), Recording (see Figure 2 (a)) Next, when adding voice information such as comments to the document input as described above, display the corresponding document fIB1.
3, and after setting the cursor at the position where the voice memo code (V) in the document is to be written, the "start recording" key provided on the input unit 11 is operated. ``According to the operation of this "recording start" key, a recording process as shown in FIG. 2(a) is executed.

When the "recording start" key is operated, first, in step S1 of FIG. 2, the current recording start position on the CMT is searched. In other words, the previous recording end value on CMT (
Ei ) is searched and a predetermined value (α) is added to that value to obtain the current recording start value (Si ).

Next, in step S2, the preset voice memo code (V), index code (i), and start value (St) obtained in step S1 are written into the document memory 15. That is, here the voice memo code (V)
and index code (1) are written at the cursor specified position in the above document, and the index code (i)
The start value (Si) obtained in step S1 is written into a preset audio data area in the document memory 15.

Furthermore, in step S3, the start value (St
) is set in the register 24, and an enable signal (ENA) is output to the comparison circuit 25 in step S4.

This causes the comparison circuit 25 to operate, and the count value of the counter 23 and the value of the register 24 are compared.

At this time, the comparison circuit 25 uses the counter 23 as a result of comparison and determination.
If the value of the counter 23 is smaller than the value of the register 24, a return signal is output. If the value of the counter 23 is smaller than the value of the register 24, a fast forward signal is output. If the value of the counter 23 and the value of the register 24 are equal, a stop signal is output. Output.

Then, when the value of the counter 23 matches the value of the register 24 and the output of the stop signal from the comparator circuit 25 is detected in step S5, the output of the enable signal (ENA) is detected in step S6. Comparison circuit 25 is released
operation is prohibited. Further, in step S7, a recording mode is displayed on the display section 13, and in step $8, a recording start signal (R8T) is output. This results in
Recording/playback@20 becomes a recording mode, and recording by voice input from the microphone 21 becomes possible.

Then, when the input of the desired voice is finished and the operation of the "stop" key is detected in step S9, step S
At 10, a stop signal (STO) is issued from cpu io.
is output.

As a result, the recording/playback device 20 stops the recording operation.

Further, in step 811, the display of the recording mode is canceled, and in step S12, the counter 2 at that time is
A count value of 3 is written as an end value (Ei) in the audio data area in the document memory 15 in correspondence with the start value (Si).

In this way, by writing the voice memo code (V) at any position in the document in the document memory 15, the document is stored in the document memory 15 with voice information associated with any position in the document. Saved in

C), Playback (see Figure 2(b)) After audio information such as comments has been added to the document as described above, the voice memo code (V) in the document displayed on the display unit 13 By specifying the display mark with the cursor and operating the "execute" key, the audio reproduction process shown in FIG. 2(b) is started.

Here, first in step 321, the document memory 1
5 and select the start value (St
) is read out and placed in the register 24 at cell i.

Next, in step 822, an enable signal (ENA) is output to the comparison circuit 25. As a result, the comparator circuit 25 operates, and the counter 23 counts directly and the register 2
4 values are compared. At this time, as a result of comparison, the comparison circuit 25 outputs a return signal if the value of the counter 23 is greater than the value of the register 24, and outputs a fast forward signal if the value of the counter 23 is smaller than the field of the register 24, When the value of the counter 23 and the value of the register 24 become equal, a stop signal is output.

Then, when the value of 1 of the counter 23 matches the value of the register 24 and the output of the stop signal from the comparator circuit 25 is detected in step S23, the enable signal (ENA) is output in step S24. is released and the operation of the comparison circuit 25 is prohibited. Furthermore, in step S8, a reproduction start signal (PST) is output. This results in
The recording/playback R20 enters the playback mode, and the reproduced audio information is output from the speaker 22.

During this audio playback, the playback period is c p u
monitored by io. That is, in step 826, the CPU 10 sets the end value (El) corresponding to the start value (Si) in the document memory 15 during the reproduction period.
) and the count value of the counter 23, and the count value of the counter 23 is compared.
The count value is the end l! (Et), a stop signal (STO) is output in step 327.

This allows recording/playback 4! ! l! 20 stops the playback operation.

In this way, the audio corresponding to the specified audio memo mark display position in the document is played back.

By using the audio recording/reproducing means corresponding to the document as described above, it is possible to add an audio comment to any position in the displayed document.

Also, if you want to cancel the corresponding voice in the document, specify the display mark of the voice memo code (V) that you want to cancel in the document with the cursor, operate the "Erase" key, and select the specified voice memo code (V). By deleting the corresponding audio in the document, you can easily cancel the corresponding audio in the document.

Note that in the above embodiment, the audio is processed separately from the document by CMT.
, and store (record) documents and audio on completely separate media.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a document and audio are written in a common storage (recording) device, and audio information according to the audio memo code (V) in the document is read out from the same storage (recording) device to record the audio. It may also be configured to output.

[Effect of the invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, audio recording/'
