Android sWear | Devpost

We got tired of hearing people (ourselves) give bad presentations. A really big part of this is the use of crutch words (ums, ahs, literally, basically, etc.) and unless you focus hard on listening for them, it's hard to be aware of how frequently they get used. Enter Android sWear - an app to listen to a set of words that you give it, catch you every time to use them, and keep a count for each word. This has lots of other possible uses to help people change for the better - such as swearing, speaking negatively, or anything a user might want to track. Is battery consumption an issue, since it always listens? Amazingly, no. One of the things we're really proud of is being able to continuously listen in a battery-efficient way. Using the Carnegie Mellon pocketsphinx voice recognition project, we were able to define hotphrases that the phone listens for, rather than constantly processing using more straightforward Speech to Text APIs.
