Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, a markup assistance apparatus includes an acquisition unit, a first calculation unit, a detection unit and a presentation unit. The acquisition unit acquires a feature amount for respective tags, each of the tags being used to control text-to-speech processing of a markup text. The first calculation unit calculates, for respective character strings, a variance of feature amounts of the tags which are assigned to the character string in a markup text. The detection unit detects a first character string assigned a first tag having the variance not less than a first threshold value as a first candidate including the tag to be corrected. The presentation unit presents the first candidate.
