Abstract: This invention relates to current sensing, in particular for a signal processing circuit (500) for outputting an output signal (Sout) based on an input signal (Sin). An output stage (101) includes an output transistor (102) driven, in use, by a drive signal. A current monitor (501) is configured to monitor, in use, a first current through the output transistor, wherein the current monitor comprises a current sensor (105) having a sense transistor (106) configured to be driven based on the drive signal so as to generate a sense current related to the first current. A compensation controller (301) receives an indication of signal level of the input signal and controllably varies operation of the current monitor (501) so as to at least partially compensate for signal-dependent variation in a relationship between the first current and the first sense current.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fluency aid comprising: a pacing signal generator operable to output a signal for generating, at regular time intervals, an audible sound; and a controller operable, in response to a voice being detected by a voice detector, to control the pacing signal generator such that the output signal causes the audible sound to continue, stop or fade.

Abstract: According to one or more examples of the present disclosure there is provided a fluency aid comprising: an altered auditory feedback, AAF, generator operable to receive an input signal derived from speech of a user and to apply a predefined variation to the input signal in order to generate a feedback signal for providing altered auditory feedback to the user, wherein the AAF generator is further operable to automatically change a property of the variation that is applied to the input signal.
