Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system and method for assessing reading quality during a reading session. In one embodiment, system is disclosed that analyzes speech that corresponds to a reading session for the duration of the reading session, the consistency of the reading sessions, the speed of the speech during the reading session, the engagement level of the parent during the reading session, and the environment in which the reading session takes place in another embodiment, a method is disclosed for calculating an objective score for a reading session, communicating the score to a parent, and providing suggestions and challenges for improving future reading sessions.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a system for communicating data generated by a wearable device to one or more server devices for analysis. The one or more server devices may transmit activity level data, or a graphical representation thereof, for a wearer of a wearable device to a device associated with a healthcare provider. The activity level data may include one or more of an active minutes element, a television time element, a word count element, a sleep duration element and a reading duration and score element.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a word counting device. Specifically, this disclosure generally relates to a wearable word counter device. The word counter device includes a microphone to receive speech input. The word counter device further includes a light sensor to receive data representative of an amount of light in an environment of the word counter device. The word counter device also includes an accelerometer to receive data representative of an amount of movement of the word counter device or the wearer of the word counter device.

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.
