<p>A word-separation control capability is provided herein. An apparatus having a word-separation control capability includes a processor configured for controlling a length of separation between adjacent words of audio during playout of the audio. The processor is configured for analyzing a locator analysis region of buffered audio for identifying boundaries between adjacent words of the buffered audio, and, for each identified boundary between adjacent words, associating a boundary marker with the identified boundary. The locator analysis region of the buffered audio may be analyzed using syntactic and/or non-syntactic speech recognition capabilities. The boundary markers may all have the same thickness, or the thickness of the boundary markers may vary based on the length of separation between the adjacent words of the respective boundaries. The boundary markers are associated with the buffered audio for use in controlling the word-separation during the playout of the audio.</p> |
