Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the accuracy of calibration, by providing a segmenting notation table means on which notation to segment a range to be analyzed for the analysis of a sentence from an inputted document is described, and a means which edits the content of the segmenting notation table means. CONSTITUTION:The segmenting notation table 9 described the notation to segment the range to be analyzed from the inputted document. An editing means 10 is the means by which a user edits the segmenting notation table means 9 arbitrarily based on a document format used usually by the user, thereby, it is possible to set the optimum segmenting notation for the user, and to perform segmentation. Also, when the document with a different format is handled by the same user, plural kinds of tables are prepared, and the user can use those tables by switching them.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] When proofreading a Japanese document, the symbols used to separate Japanese sentences vary depending on the user, and it is not possible to correctly cut out the sentences using only a specific notation. In order to solve this problem, it was constructed to include a delimiter notation table and means for editing it.

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a text-reading proofreading device used for reading and proofreading a text, and particularly relates to a Japanese reading method in the text-reading proofreading device.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the general configuration of a text reading proofreading device. In FIG. 3, ■ is a document file, which stores a document inputted by a word processor or the like.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a main control unit that controls the entire apparatus, and cuts out a sentence consisting of a character string code input from the document file 1 into analysis units.

3 is a text analysis unit, which takes the unit of analysis of the text as input,
Analyze the sentence with reference to the reading dictionary @4 and output the reading.

The reading dictionary 4 is a dictionary that provides readings of words based on kanji codes and surrounding kana.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a voice output section, which inputs the pronunciation from the sentence analysis section 3 and outputs it from the speaker 6 as a synthesized voice.

A display 7 provides a data display to the human and a keyboard 8 provides a means of input from the human to the device.

In such a text-reading proofreading device, extraction for providing text analysis units to the text analysis unit 3 is performed as follows.

In the past, when analyzing Japanese sentences, one analysis unit was extracted using only specific notations such as the period mark "," or the comma ".", but for example, the middle point "・" was used as the analysis unit. For horizontal writing users, it is clearly a break in the sentence, such as ``・what～ ・what and so～'', but for vertical writing users, it is a break in the sentence, such as ``3.5%''. Instead, the unit of analysis was different, and the problem was that it was no longer a single sentence.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, the conventional extraction method has a problem in that the accuracy of reading may deteriorate depending on the user.

The present invention aims to provide a novel sentence reading proofreading device that solves these conventional problems.

[Means for Solving the Problems] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the principle of the text reading and proofreading apparatus of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 9 is a delimited notation table, and 10
is the means of editing. , and other components are the same as in FIG.

The delimiter notation table 9 describes notations for cutting out the range to be analyzed from the input document.

The editing means 10 is a means by which the user freely edits the delimiter notation table 9 based on the document format that the user customarily uses.

[Operation] By adopting the above configuration, it is possible to set an optimal delimiter notation for each user and perform cutting.

Furthermore, even when the same user handles documents in different formats, it is possible to prepare multiple types of tables and switch between them.

[Example] The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an example shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows a delimiter notation table in one embodiment of the present invention.

The table is simply a list of delimiter notation codes that should be used to cut out sentences.

The main control section reads from the character string input from the document file.
The delimiter notation in this table is searched, and if it is detected, it is extracted.

",", ".", "?", and "!" in the table are punctuation marks used in normal documents, "u" is a space symbol, and "dan" is used in specific industries. It is a paragraph mark.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the reading accuracy by using the punctuation notation that is most suitable for the user. The effect is huge.

In the drawing, l is a document file, 2 is a main control unit, 3 is a text analysis unit, 4 is a reading dictionary, 5 is a voice output unit,
6 is the speaker, 7 is the display,
8 is the keyboard, 9 is the delimited notation table, 10
indicate the editing means, respectively. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the principle of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the delimiter notation table in the embodiment 11 of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional example.

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a text reading proofreading device that inputs a text written as a coded character string, analyzes it, reads it out using synthesized speech, and proofreads the document by reading it together, the input is input to analyze the text. The present invention is characterized in that it is configured to include a delimited notation table means (9) in which notation for cutting out a range to be analyzed from a document is written, and a means (10) for editing the contents of the delimited notation table means (9).
