With how great speech recognition is becoming, it seems like this is something remote workers could easily discreetly do since our conversations tend to be stationary, through a computer, and with only a small part of our body visible. Just wire up some electrodes to zap you every time the computer detects filler. I'm now seriously considering doing it myself. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

One of our app devs built this recently, but for swearing: https://youtube.com/shorts/FthRCwn1JuM?si=lC3eWAUI7sV-LL-r A wearable speech coach would be awesome, though. Detect filler words and give you an alert on your HUD when it detects "uh" "uhm" etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It would be about as easy, and certainly less painful, to just have a video processor remove and smooth over filler words in real time. If the filler words are excessive it would slow down the apparent rate of speech, but obviously not the real rate of speech, by definition, since we're only removing words with zero semantic value. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Why are filler words bad? Why do we need to be trained not to use them? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
