As a result, some people suffer from attention deficit and memory recession; for example, they become unconsciously repetitive in their speech and annoy other people around them, and they lose their socializing skills, or due to the bad emotion to cause speech including too many negative words. Even if they consult a psychiatrist, normally they will only have short period for interrogation enquiry and drug treatment, but they cannot afford to continue a long term care. This study developed a portable system that can help users with memory reminding and emotional self-management by recording voice via a suite of recognition software that makes speech to text, and applying information retrieval to divide text into several short sentences. Meanwhile, the system sorts the key words to judge if they belong to one of five parts such as people, events, time, place, and objects. It can determine whether the user repeats the same contents and makes others feel bored; moreover, it can analyze the talking contents of the user whether they contain negative emotion or not, and may reduce the probability of suicide when the user in low emotional period. This system can actively warn the user by sound and chart, to achieve the goal of reminding and management. In the implementation we combined speech input equipment, speech recognition software and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications.
