A device for capturing rendered text is described. The device incorporates one or more visual sensors that receive visual information as a part of capturing rendered text. The visual sensors are collectively capable of capturing both text that is permanently printed on a page, and text that is displayed transitorily on a dynamic device. The device further incorporates a visual information disposition subsystem for disposing of visual information received by the visual sensors. The device further incorporates a package that bears the visual sensors and the visual information disposition subsystem, and is suitable to be held in a human hand.

A portable handheld device including a CPU for processing a script; a multi-core processor for processing an image; an input buffer for receiving data for processing by the multi-core processor, the input buffer being provided under the control of the multi-core processor to send data thereto; and an output buffer for receiving data processed by the multi-core processor, the output buffer being provided under the control of the multi-core processor to receive data therefrom. The multi-core processor comprises a plurality of micro-coded processing units. The CPU is configured with authority to clear and query the input and output buffers.

An information processing device includes a voice recorder, a retrieval section, and an analysis section. The information processing device utilizes a meeting report on a meeting. The voice recorder records utterances during the meeting. The retrieval section retrieves an utterance of a term entered in the meeting report from among the utterances recorded on the voice recorder. The analysis section analyzes a content of the meeting based on the utterance of the term.

There is provided a data creation method for efficiently performing volume adjustment of a sound of each subject according to a state of each of a plurality of subjects. A data creation method includes: an association step (step S10 and step S11) of associating the microphone with each subject possessing each of the microphones; a recording step (step S12, step S20, and step S21) of recording moving image data using the imaging apparatus; a sound recording step (step S13) of recording sound data of each subject using each of the microphones in synchronization with a start of the recording step; a detection step (step S14 and step S15) of automatically detecting a state of the subject during the recording step; and an addition step (step S16 to step S19) of adding, to the moving image data, an identification code for volume adjustment of the sound data of each subject based on a result of the detection step.
