Abstract

An apparatus for generating a review based in part on detected sentiment may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including determining a location(s) of the apparatus and a time(s) that the location(s) was determined responsive to capturing voice data of speech content associated with spoken reviews of entities. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to analyze textual and acoustic data corresponding to the voice data to detect whether the textual or acoustic data includes words indicating a sentiment(s) of a user speaking the speech content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to generate a review of an entity corresponding to a spoken review(s) based on assigning a predefined sentiment to a word(s) responsive to detecting that the word indicates the sentiment of the user. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
