UNAIR NEWS– Abdullah Aufa Fuad, one of the alumni of Physics Program and Nano Science Master檚 program of University of Lyon, France has become well-known to public.听He is known for his success in developing an app called Speaktograph.
In simple terms,speaktograph is as an application used to analyze speech and change the form from audio to text that can be grouped.

Fuad said, the development only took 2.5 months.听He developed thespeaktographapplicationwith his friends, Kalimah Wasis Lestari (FISIP UNAIR Student) and Afifudin Maari (University of Lyon).听Thisspeaktographhas been used to analyze two presidential debates, between two candidates Joko Widodo and Prabowo Subianto.
The results displayed by the app are in four categories.听First, the talkativeness shown from total spoken words, unique words, and frequency and length of pauses.
Second, the frequent used words is about the number of repetitions of words.听Third, the pattern of sentences that are spoken to map out the composing words of the sentences.听Fourth, characters shown from self-confidence, local wisdom, optimism, and frequency of mentioning data or numbers.

“The results can berankedthrough round graph so the data looks more interesting and easy to understand.听When the size of circle is getting bigger, it means that the word is often said, “he said.
“Almost all vocabularies in KBBI have been included, familiar English has also been input.听Even though there are still languages 媼that were not identified, such as a slang word selow, ” he said.
Furthermore, this application can also translate several abbreviations widely known.听For example KPU, the writing appears is no longer the word Ka-Pe-U.听Fuad continued that they make sure the accuracy level can reach 96 percent.
In the future, they will continue to build the program so they can track the netizens’ posts on social media.听It concerns issues and products, so when it is introduced to public, they are not considered outdated.
