  • Patent number: 11790917
    Abstract: Speech analysis is performed by receiving estimated glyphs corresponding to an estimate made by speech-to-text software of what has been spoken out loud by a user; comparing the estimated glyphs with reference glyphs representing a text from which the user has attempted to read; and providing feedback relating to the user's speech based on the comparison of the estimated glyphs with the reference glyphs.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7505415
    Abstract: A method of performance monitoring and a processor for performance monitoring in a communications network are provided. A signal is monitored over time by allocating a current signal quality characterization to the signal, selected from at least two such signal quality characterizations, such as perfect time, errored time and unavailable time. A plurality of time intervals making up a continuous succession of such time intervals are identified, such that a current time interval is terminated and a next time interval is initiated each time the signal quality characterization allocated to the signal changes. Then, a record of each identified time interval is generated and can be used to generate a performance log. Selected records may be manipulated to reduce the amount of memory required to store the records while intelligently degrading their accuracy.
