[0033] The following will describe the talk script generation program, talk script generation system, and talk script generation method according to the present invention with reference to Figures 1 to 6.

[0034] <Definitions of terms in this embodiment> First, the definitions of various terms used in this embodiment will be explained.

[0035] In this embodiment, "document file" refers to electronic data created and recorded on a computer that can display text, charts, and the like. This concept includes, for example, presentation materials for business partners or educational or training materials for specific individuals (this is just one example). A document file may contain multiple pages. A document file can be in formats such as PDF, word processing, presentation, or spreadsheet.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, "talk script information" is a concept that includes information that expresses the content of the presentation contained in the document file in a desired language, and includes title information and heading information for each page of the document file.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, "presentation viewer" refers to anyone who watches the presentation, and is a concept that includes, for example, business partners or participants in specific educational or training courses (this is just one example).

[0038] <Overall configuration of the talk script generation system> The talk script generation system 1 according to this embodiment, shown in Figure 1, consists of, for example, a server 2 on the cloud and a user terminal 3 that transmits various information to the server 2 and can display various information received from the server 2.

[0039] Server 2 and user terminal 3 are configured to send and receive various types of information via a communication network 4. Examples of communication networks 4 include the Internet, as well as other known or equivalent communication networks such as wired or wireless LANs (Local Area Networks), WANs (Wide Area Networks), and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks).

[0040] The following describes the various components of the talk script generation system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0041] <About User Terminals> First, let's explain user terminal 3. User terminal 3 is a terminal owned by a user of the talk script generation system 1, and has a web browser installed that allows it to browse the internet. User terminal 3 is also able to access web pages provided by server 2 of the talk script generation system 1.
