You May Soon Know if You're Hogging the Discussion. People who want to improve their communication skills may one day have an unusual helper: software programs that analyze the tone, turn-taking behavior and other qualities of a conversation. The programs would then tell the speakers whether they tend to interrupt others, for example, or whether they dominate meetings with monologues, or appear inattentive when others are talking.

I would love to use this software. I am a scatterbrained individual and sometimes a point I was initially trying to make gets left to the wayside. I have the bad habbit of interrupting someone during their response when the initial point pops back into my noggin.
