  • Patent number: 10134424
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a portable device. Specifically, this disclosure generally relates to a portable word counter device. The portable word counter device includes a digital microcontroller circuit. The digital microcontroller circuit includes a syllable detector detecting syllables in spoken speech. The syllable detector aggregates a number of detected syllables and applies a syllable to word counted ratio. Based on the syllable to word counted ratio, the syllable detector determines a number of words spoken, and transmits the number of words spoken to a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9548046
    Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a method and system for counting words spoken by a user. For example, an audio input representative of spoken speech may be received and divided into a series of windows. The windows may be analyzed to determine whether or not one or more of the windows meet one or more speech criteria. The number of times a window meets one or more speech criteria may be counted and modified by a modifier factor to determine a word count. The word count may be output in a graphical user interface.
