Apparatus, process, and program for combining speech and audio data

摘要

There is provided a speech processing apparatus including: a data obtaining unit which obtains music progression data defining a property of one or more time points or one or more time periods along progression of music; a determining unit which determines an output time point at which a speech is to be output during reproducing the music by utilizing the music progression data obtained by the data obtaining unit; and an audio output unit which outputs the speech at the output time point determined by the determining unit during reproducing the music.

1. A speech processing apparatus comprising:
a data obtaining unit configured to obtain music progression data defining a property of one or more time points or one or more time periods along progression of music; a timing determining unit configured to determine an output time point at which a speech is to be output during reproducing the music by utilizing the music progression data obtained by the data obtaining unit; and an audio output unit configured to output the speech at the output time point determined by the timing determining unit during reproducing the music; wherein the data obtaining unit is further configured to obtain timing data which defines output timing of the speech, including an offset based on the music progression data, in association with any one of the one or more time points or the one or more time periods having a property defined by the music progression data, and the timing determining unit is further configured to determine the output time point by utilizing the music progression data and the timing data.
