Amen
What is needed is a careful design of the filters associated with the meter 
output. 
Suppose one stacked two time-constants with one having a 0.1 second tau and 
another with say a 3 second tau? The fast one would ollow enough of the 
envelope to get through so that one could see what is going on. It would more 
or less follow the syllabic peaks. The second tau would be holding the 
average value, more or less. Some experimenting would be required to 
ascertain the most practical values.
