Abstract
The text display device includes: a display control section that displays, on a display device, a text containing a predetermined feature position; an input section that receives an operation performed by a finger of the operator on an input device, and detects a presence of a contact with the finger and XY-coordinates corresponding to a finger position; a calculation section that, when a contact with the finger is detected, associates the detected XY-coordinates with an emphasis display position in the displayed text, calculates a relative distance between the emphasis display position and the feature position, and calculates coordinate values corresponding to the feature position based on the relative distance and the detected XY-coordinates; and a tactile sensation presentation section that provides the operator with a tactile sensation of a protrusion or a depression at a position in the input area indicated by the calculated coordinate values.
