Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses for computer-generated visualization of speech are described herein. An example method of computer-generated visualization of speech including at least one segment includes: generating a graphical representation of an object corresponding to a segment of the speech; and displaying the graphical representation of the object on a screen of a computing device. Generating the graphical representation includes: representing a duration of the respective segment by a length of the object and representing intensity of the respective segment by a width of the object; and placing, in the graphical representation, a space between adjacent objects.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for interfacing with a user based on the detection of a state, such as a stationary state, of the apparatus and providing a response based on the state of the apparatus are described herein. An example method of interfacing with a user includes: detecting a user in proximity of an apparatus; entering a first mode of the apparatus responsive to detection of the user in proximity; receiving motion data from one or more sensors of the apparatus responsive to movement of the apparatus; and detecting a stationary state of the apparatus based on the motion data; and entering a second mode responsive to detection of the stationary state.
