The memorization is the process that allows human to acquire new knowledge and retain it in the log-term memory. Many techniques have been developed to optimize the human memorisation process. In this paper, we present a new method for memorising a speech audio content. Our method is based on segmenting and listening. The approach methods are implemented into a mobile application.
