3 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method that a computer device according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in step S310, the processor 220 may set participant's accent information for each audio participant through participant setting. Accent information refers to language information used in a participant's country, ethnicity, or region. For example, the processor 220 may set a language mainly used by the participant, such as a native language, as accent information. In the present embodiment, pronunciations for each accent may be collected for the same word or sentence in consideration of the fact that accents differ depending on the country or region of origin even in the same language. To this end, the processor 220 may set a native language mainly used by the participant as accent information of an audio participant who wants to participate in pronunciation collection.

In step S320, the processor 220 may generate pronunciation content by recording audio spoken by a participant for a given view. The processor 220 may randomly select words, idioms, sentences, and the like in the dictionary by using a dictionary database and provide them as an example. The processor 220 may generate pronunciation content of the corresponding accent by tagging and storing the participant's accent information in the audio recording of the participant. In this case, the processor 220 may tag, store, and manage demonstration information (eg, age, gender, occupation, etc.) of the corresponding participant with the participant's pronunciation contents. The processor 220 may tag the original text provided as an example, the type of the original text (word, idiom, sentence, etc.), tone information or subject information specified by the participant as well as demo information for the pronunciation content of the participant. . Information tagged with pronunciation content may be used as a filter condition for selecting and providing pronunciation content. In addition, the processor 220 may perform inspection on the participant's audio recording and filter the pronunciation content according to the inspection result. The processor 220 may filter the pronunciation content based on a voice recognition result of the participant's audio and a sound quality evaluation result such as noise level.

In step S330, the processor 220 may provide pronunciation content based on the accent. For example, when a specific accent is selected, the processor 220 may provide a playlist composed of pronunciation contents of the corresponding accent. As another example, the processor 220 may provide a playlist composed of pronunciation contents of a specific view type by using a view type such as a word, an idiom, or a sentence as a filter condition. As another example, the processor 220 may provide a playlist composed of pronunciation contents of a specific demo by using demo information such as age, gender, and occupation of an audio participant as a filter condition. As another example, the processor 220 may use tone information or subject information as a filter condition to provide a playlist composed of pronunciation contents of a corresponding tone or subject. In this case, the processor 220 may sort the pronunciation content playlist based on the content creation time, the accumulated number of reproductions, the accumulated number of positive responses (eg, likes, etc.), the accumulated number of shares, and the like.

The processor 220 not only exposes pronunciation content through the screen on the audio participation service, but also pronounces the pronunciation through the service area of another platform that can be linked with the audio participation service, for example, a dictionary platform that provides a language dictionary and language learning service. Content can be exposed. The processor 220 may expose pronunciation content in association with a language dictionary or language learning within the dictionary platform, and may support synchronization with the dictionary platform for related data such as playback of pronunciation content, positive response, and sharing.
