In an information recording system, a sound processing unit generates a conversion candidate word in a process of converting sound information into text information. A recording unit records the text information and the conversion candidate word on a recording medium such that the text information and the conversion candidate word are associated with each other. A search unit performs a search based on a keyword and extracts a word matching the keyword from words within the text information and the conversion candidate word. A reading unit reads the text information including the word matching the keyword from the recording medium. A display unit displays the text information such that a part corresponding to the word matching the keyword and a part other than the corresponding part are able to be distinguished.

A control device for a recording system includes a sound acquisition unit, a recording control unit, an item management unit and a presentation control unit. The sound acquisition unit acquires sound data from a sound pickup device. The recording control unit records information based on the sound data as recording information corresponding to one of predetermined items. The item management unit extracts one of the items, in which the recording information has not yet been recorded, as an uninput item. The presentation control unit causes a presentation device to show the uninput item.
