AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a method for producing speeded-up or slowed-down voice data using a computer. The method involves digitally processing the original voice data on a computer by sampling it at a predetermined frequency and fading in or out the end portions of the blocks produced. The method can also involve adding a new block between adjacent blocks and superimposing the faded-in / out end portions of blocks for slowed playback. The speeded-up or slowed-down voice data can be played back while displaying a natural sound at a normal speed or an image moving in a scene. The invention provides a computer program for executing the method and a storage medium for storing the speeded-up voice data. The technical effects of the invention include quick playback and enhancement of effects through slow playback."

Problems solved by technology

However, in the conventional quick playback system, voice data recorded on a tape is processed, and thus this technique is not suitable for use with a multimedia system such as that using the Internet.

Abstract

A computer-assisted method of assisting a user of a computer to memorize includes steps of displaying an image indicating a content to be memorized, on a left-hand side of a computer screen for a particular period; displaying text data indicating language information related to the image displayed in this displaying step, on a right-hand side of the computer screen for a particular period; and playing back a voice pronouncing the text data displayed in the text data displaying step. The image displaying step, the text displaying step, and the voice playing back step are performed repeatedly, thereby assisting the user of the computer to memorize.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method of, by using a computer, producing speeded-up voice data or slowed-down data, a method of playing back such voice data, a method of assisting a user of a computer to memorize or learn a language, and a computer program for executing such a method. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] It is known in the art to play back voice data at a high speed (2, 3, or 4 times higher than the normal speed) using a dedicated tape recorder. A flash card is also known as a tool of learning a language. For example, a teacher of English shows an English word written on a thick. paper card with a size of about 10 cm in height and 25 cm in width to pupils for a very short time, and pupils pronounces the English word shown. It is also known to employ a card game in teaching English to little children. In this teaching technique, pictures and corresponding English words are drawn on res...
