Original Abstract Submitted
An after-the-fact check of a face-to-face interaction between a plurality of people with a conversation. A video playback system includes a video acquisition unit, a video memory unit, a text acquisition unit, a text memory unit, a video display unit, and a text display unit. The video memory unit stores video data representing a video captured over an image capture area and acquired by the video acquisition unit. The text memory unit stores text data generated by recognizing a voice collected around the image capture area and acquired by the text acquisition unit. The text display unit selects text data formed by recognizing a voice collected around the image capture area at an image capture timing of the video displayed by the video display unit, from among the stored text data, and displays a text represented by the text data.
