According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a storage unit, a detector, an acquisition unit, and a search unit. The storage unit configured to store therein voice indices, each of which associates a character string included in voice text data obtained from a voice recognition process with voice positional information, the voice positional information indicating a temporal position in the voice data and corresponding to the character string. The acquisition unit acquires reading information being at least a part of a character string representing a reading of a phrase to be transcribed from the voice data played back. The search unit specifies, as search targets, character strings whose associated voice positional information is included in the played-back section information among the character strings included in the voice indices, and retrieves a character string including the reading represented by the reading information from among the specified character strings.
