It is a pity that there are so few computing and programming projects; computer science can do a lot in so many realms. I am sure this project was very useful and educational for you. What I would recommend is that you shouldn’t try to put a tuxedo on an octopus: you don’t have to disguise a programming project as a scientific study, as I think there is more value in the programming effort and resulting app itself than studying the process of creating it. You should have include screen shots or video of your apps in operation. You have motivated me to try to make an app for the VSF. One image was missing and a few others were distorted due to the wrong numbers length and width tags.

How Fast Can YOU Talk?
Virtual Science Fair
Cum Laude Award  - Merit Certificate
View Project: virtualsciencefair.org/shie14k
Abstract: My project’s purpose is to find out the fastest average speed a human can talk. For this experiment, you’ll need: test subjects, software that can slow down speech while still being audible, a timer, computer, and pen and paper. Print out your chosen passage for your test subject to read. Do an accurate word count and determine the number of words in the passage. Hand the passage to your test subject and instruct them to raise their hand when they are done reading the passage. Give your test subject 3 counts and instruct them to start reading the passage as fast and as accurate as they can. Stop the watch when your test subject raises his/her hand. Using audio software, press the option to slow down or play back speech so you can hear word-for-word what the test subject has said. Count out any words that still sound inaudible, slurred, skipped, or incorrect. Take this number and divide by the number of total words in the passage and multiply by 100 (determines accuracy %).
