A playback control apparatus includes a playback controller configured to control playback of first content and second content. The first content is to output first sound which is generated based on text information using speech synthesis processing. The second content is to output second sound which is generated not using the speech synthesis processing. The playback controller causes an attribute of content to be played back to be displayed on the screen, the attribute indicating whether or not the content is to output sound which is generated based on text information using speech synthesis processing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present technology relates to a playback control device, a playback control method, and a program, and more particularly, to a playback control device, a playback control method, and a program that can provide a new form of entertainment by using a text-to-speech function. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the number of users who accumulate digitized audio data in advanced mobile phones (eg, smartphones), tablet terminals, etc., and play the accumulated audio data to enjoy music while on the go or away from home has increased. [0003] Smartphones, tablet terminals, and the like also have a network connection function that allows users to view desired web pages. However, this function is difficult to use in situations where it is difficult to see the screen, such as while moving. [0004] Heretofore, there have been speech synthesis systems ("text-to-speech" functions) that provide speech output of text information such as received e-...
