“…The most notable finding brought by the present experiment is that minimum sample length (or what we are calling stabilization time) for both speech and articulation rates are much shorter than the few previous works suggest. While previous estimates range from 5 minutes [5] to as long as 9 minutes [4], we were able to show that both types of speaking rate can reach stabilization much sooner, consistently in less than half a minute, even using the same stabilization criteria employed by [4].…”

“…Discussion on the literature about the issue of minimum sample length seems to be limited to [4] and our previous study. Kendall cites one brief work [5] that estimates minimum sample length in about 5 minutes, although there is limited information on how the authors arrived at this estimate. The work developed by Kendall himself is presented in more detail.…”

In this study, we expand on previous experiments designed with the aim of determining the minimum length that an audio sample should have in order for the speaking rate derived from it to be representative of the sample as a whole. We compare two different approaches to establishing that the time series of the cumulative speaking rate calculated over the audio sample has reached stability. We also compare the effect on stabilization time of four other factors that may affect the way speaking rate is calculated. The results show that all factors tested have significant effects, although of limited practical concern. Overall, average stability time is 12.1 seconds, with the bulk of the distribution lying between 7.9 and 16.2 s.
