Abstract

An emotion estimation method that is executed by an information processing device includes: acquiring voice data; determining whether the voice data includes linguistic information; and estimating an emotion corresponding to the voice data by inputting the voice data to a first estimation model, when the voice data includes the linguistic information, or estimating the emotion corresponding to the voice data by inputting the voice data to a second estimation model, when the voice data does not include the linguistic information. The first estimation model estimates the emotion based on the linguistic information. The second estimation model estimates the emotion without being based on the linguistic information.
