Algorithmic determination of a story readers discontinuation of reading

A system comprising;

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:
• receiving audio data comprising spoken words 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.

A non-transitory computer readable medium which, when executed by a processing device, causes the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving audio data comprising spoken words 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.
