PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To retrieve voice information according to voice contents and speaker discrimination by discriminating voice information matching a user inquiry by comparing the user inquiry with the contents index and speaker index of a voice source. SOLUTION: The user inquiry includes a text character string including one or more key words and given speaker discrimination. The restriction conditions of the inquiry are compared with an indexed voice or/and a video database to retrieve proper voice and video segments. A voice retrieval system 100 comprises an indexing system 500 which transcribes and indexes voice information and an voice retrieval system 600. The indexing system 500 processes a text outputted from a voice recognition system in the indexing stage to perform contents indexing and speaker indexing. In the retrieval stage, the contents and speaker voice retrieval system 600 matches an inquiry document according to the voice contents and speaker discrimination by using the contents indexes and speaker indexes in the indexing stage and returns a proper document to a user.
