Abstract
The disclosure provides technology for enhancing the ability of a computing device to detect when a user has discontinued reading a text source. An example method includes receiving audio data comprising a spoken word associated with a text source, comparing the audio data with data of the text source, determining, based on the comparing, whether a segment of the audio data corresponds to a location of the text source, and responsive to determining that the segment of the audio data does not correspond to a location of the text source, transmitting a signal indicating that a user has discontinued reading the text source, the signal causing to cease the comparing of the audio data with the data of the text source.
