The Speech Rate Meter (hereinafter SRM) software module is designed to measure a complex of characteristics of the tempo (rate) of oral speech.
Distinctive features: The assessment of the complex of characteristics of the speech rate is carried out by measuring in real time:
- Actual rate of speech (number of words per minute, taking into account the duration of interphrase pauses) - Speech Rate (wpm)
- Speech articulation rate (words per minute minus the duration of interphrase pauses) - Articulation Rate (wpm)
- Average duration of inter-phrase pauses - Phrase Pauses (sec).
- The total duration of the speech segment - Speech Duration (sec)
Recommended areas of application:
- Self-study and self-control of the rate of speech in the preparation and conduct of speeches and presentations;
- Individual training of oral and speech skills in a number of professions such as: call center operators, radio, TV announcers, etc.;
- Monitoring of the rate of speech of call-center operators, radio and TV broadcasters;
- Improving the skills of reading texts in native and foreign languages;
- Self-control tool for eliminating speech defects, diagnostics and treatment of speech pathologies;
SRM is implemented as a standalone application for Windows (7, 8, 10), Linux, Android (in progress now).
Currently on our website (see https://intontrainer.by ) the SRM prototype is uploaded, available for free download.
Use QT Creator or CMake to build Speech Rate Meter. You need to build Inton Core library first.
