Abstract
A computer-generated dialog session is customized for a user having a pathology characterized at least in part by a speech pathology. The user's speech is analyzed for spans of speech in which the starts and ends of the spans satisfy predetermined thresholds of time. Customization occurs by altering at least one of the following configurable parameters: (a) a threshold minimum signal strength of speech (dB) to consider as the start of the span of speech; (b) an adjustment factor by which signal strengths of background noise increases between consecutive spans of speech; (c) a threshold between signal strength during the span of speech and signal strength during the span of non-speech; (d) a start speech time threshold; and (e) an end speech time threshold.
