Abstract
Systems and methods for displaying an audio indicator including a main portion having a width proportional to a volume of a particular phoneme of an utterance is described herein. In some embodiments, audio data representing an utterance may be received at a speech-processing system from a user device. The speech-processing system may determine a maximum volume amplitude for the utterance, and using the maximum volume amplitude, may determine a normalized amplitude value between 0 and 1 associated with a volume that phoneme's of an utterance are spoken. The speech-processing system may then map the normalized amplitude value(s) to widths for a main portion of an audio indicator, where larger normalized amplitude values may correspond to smaller main portion widths. Display data representing a graphical user interface may then be generated and sent to the user device, where the graphical user interface includes the audio indicator having its main portion of a particular width representative of a volume of each phoneme from the utterance.
