AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDING AN INDICATION TO A SPEAKER WHEN THAT SPEAKER'S RATE OF SPEECH IS LIKELY TO BE GREATER THAN A RATE THAT A LISTENER IS ABLE TO COMPREHEND
The present invention discloses a solution that automatically informs a speaker to decrease his or her speaking rate, when that rate likely exceeds a rate that a listener can understand. This can be accomplished by determining a speaking rate for the speaker, which is compared against a speaking rate threshold. The speaking rate threshold can be based upon a listening rate, estimated or known, of the listener. The listening rate can be a variable value based in part upon a proficiency that the listener has with a language being spoken. The speaker can be informed to slow down by an activation of a sensory mechanism of a wearable computing device designed to vibrate, beep, blink, speak a message, display a message, and the like, whenever a speaking rate of the speaker exceeds the speaking rate threshold.
