Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a program that causes a computer to execute a process performed in an information processing apparatus that plays back voice data, the process including receiving, from a user, an operation of specifying a playback position of the voice data; and displaying a text of a voice to be played back from the playback position, based on the operation of specifying the playback position.

Claims (47)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process performed in an information processing apparatus that plays back voice data, the process comprising:

receiving, from a user, an operation of specifying a playback position of the voice data on a seek bar using a cursor;

detecting a cursor position on the seek bar;

determining a time section corresponding to the detected cursor position;

transmitting, to a server, a request for text data and image data associated with the time section;

receiving, from the server, the text data and the image data; and

displaying, on the seek bar, a tool tip configured to temporarily display the text data and the image data corresponding to the time section associated with the playback position.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes displaying, together with the text data to be displayed, the image data corresponding to the time section determined based on the operation of specifying the playback position, the image data being obtained by capturing a screen recorded together with the voice data.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising:

selecting, according to a rule, the text data to be displayed from among texts of a plurality of voices included in the time section corresponding to the detected cursor position.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation of specifying the playback position is an operation by the user of specifying a position on a display element of a graphical user interface that displays the playback position and receives the operation of specifying the playback position, and

the displaying includes displaying the text data, in a display area that appears according to the operation by the user of specifying the position on the display element.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation of specifying the playback position is an operation by the user of moving a display component that receives the operation of specifying the playback position on a display element of a graphical user interface that displays the playback position and receives the operation of specifying the playback position, and

the displaying includes displaying the text data, in a display area that appears according to the operation by the user of moving a position of the display component.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising:

displaying a record viewing and editing screen in which the text data and the image data obtained by capturing a screen recorded together with the voice data are associated with each other, wherein

the receiving includes receiving, from the record viewing and editing screen, the operation by the user of specifying the playback position of the voice data.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , the process further comprising:

acquiring the voice data;

acquiring the image data obtained by capturing a screen corresponding to the voice data; and

acquiring the text data of a voice recognition result obtained from the voice data.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 7 , wherein

the voice data corresponds to speech by a plurality of users, and

the image data corresponds to the captured screen shared by the plurality of users.

9 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 8 , wherein

the voice data is acquired from a function by which the plurality of users perform voice communication and screen sharing, and

the image data is acquired, from the function, for the captured screen shared by the plurality of users.

10 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the displaying includes acquiring the text data corresponding to the time section determined based on the cursor position,

and displaying the text data in the tool tip based on the operation of specifying the playback position.

11 . An information processing apparatus that plays back voice data, the information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry; and

a memory storing computer-executable instructions that cause the circuitry to execute:

receiving, from a user, an operation of specifying a playback position of the voice data on a seek bar using a cursor;

detecting a cursor position on the seek bar;

determining a time section corresponding to the detected cursor position;

transmitting, to a server, a request for text data and image data associated with the time section;

receiving, from the server, the text data and the image data; and

displaying, on the seek bar, a tool tip configured to temporarily display the text data and the image data corresponding to the time section associated with the playback position.

12 . An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus that plays back voice data, the information processing method comprising:

receiving, from a user, an operation of specifying a playback position of the voice data on a seek bar using a cursor;

detecting a cursor position on the seek bar;

determining a time section corresponding to the detected cursor position;

transmitting, to a server, a request for text data and image data associated with the time section;

receiving, from the server, the text data and the image data; and

displaying, on the seek bar, a tool tip configured to temporarily display the text data and the image data corresponding to the time section associated with the playback position.
