ABSTRACT:
A computer based method and related system, computer program product and device includes receiving audio input associated with a user reading a sequence of words and determining an approximate amount of time corresponding to an absence of input associated with an assessed word, after receiving audio input associated with a preceding word in the sequence of words, or since the start of the audio buffer or file. The method can also include displaying a visual indication or generating an audio intervention based on the determined amount of time corresponding to an absence of input.
