Abstract
An apparatus for utilizing textual data and acoustic data corresponding to speech data to detect sentiment may include a processor and memory storing executable computer code causing the apparatus to at least perform operations including evaluating textual data and acoustic data corresponding to voice data associated with captured speech content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to analyze the textual data and the acoustic data to detect whether the textual data or the acoustic data includes one or more words indicating at least one sentiment of a user that spoke the speech content. The computer program code may further cause the apparatus to assign at least one predefined sentiment to at least one of the words in response to detecting that the word(s) indicates the sentiment of the user. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
