You'd need it open source - and ubiquitous . Seeing as you talk a lot on the phone, you'd be uniquely able to get a decent recording of key words in training, and modifier samples if you say something uniquely, through recording one side of the conversation.
Probably an ethical nightmare, but you could always upload a profile made on a desktop/laptop - or even do the 15 minute speech on the phone and then email to get analysed.
