Apple Health speaking stats

Quantify the yap

I would consider myself an extrovert. While I’m not the most talkative person on the planet, I do yap from time to time. My family is overall fairly introverted, although some members demonstrate an exceptional ability to speak extemporaneously for as long as they are allowed to continue. This isn’t inherently a bad thing, but for an introvert, it’s helpful to know when you’ll be in a situation where people are talking a lot.

This got me thinking… what if Apple Health could quantify how many words someone speaks per day? This would immediately lay bare how much you yap compared to your friends. This could also prove to be invaluable data if put in front of the right buyer.

There are likely a lot of privacy and accuracy concerns with shipping something like this, but if a feature like this were built, it would inevitably get better over time. It could also be fun to compare this stat with friends…
