All lingWAVES suites come with standardized recording hardware. Central part of lingWAVES acoustic is the client manager using a database for automatic session and report management. Here you can start new sessions or open existing ones. This technology allows a comfortable pre-post comparison for patients sessions and documentation.
Unique - a client management based reporting system, see sample reports:
Voice Protocol
Voice Diagnostic Center
Record and compare your patients voice at different sessions. Add acoustic analysis like (real -time) spectrogram, jitter, shimmer, FFT, AMDF, ... .
Recordings made with voice recorder are often used for subjective comparision of two pre-post standard text readings.
Shows time signal, spectrogram, pitch/F0 and energy in real time. You can choose which display should be shown during a session, all 4, 3, 2 or a single one.
Real time display is a helpful biofeedback for (co)articulation and timing.
Spectrogram can be show with different bandwith settings, from wide to narrow band.
One of the most used voice assessment procedure worldwide. 4-steps to get a comprehensive and objective voice documentation within 10 minutes. Aerodynamic, voice quantity and quality, dysphonia severity index (DSI), text reading and a pitch/loudness biofeedback tool (often used for Parkinson patients and others) - see more details ...
Voice Diagnostic Center is an extended standard procedure for voice range profile (VRP) assessment for singing/speaking voice and DSI-Vospector with trend/pre-post display. Based on international norms it is one of the most used ENT/Otolaryngology/SLP voice assessment tools and also used in dozens of clinical studies.
Quantity (range and dynamic) and voice quality (roughness, breathiness, singers formant) are calculated in real-time during a session and give an extensive objective presentation of patients voice (what you see is what you hear.)
Get a reliable measurement of a patients voice quality within seconds. Based on a sustained vowel recording Vospector measures jitter and shimmer and the more reliable irregularity (roughness) and GNE-noise (breathiness).
Compared to jitter and shimmer only offering a good/bad anaylsis (within or out of norm), Vospector technology irregularity/GNE-noise also provides the degree of roughness-reathiness-severity and is highly related to vocal fold irregularity cycle and vocal fold closure and auditive perceived voice impression.
Motor Speech Disorders are known as dysarthria or apraxia. lingWAVES MSDA provides an automatic assessment of the Diadochokinetic Rate (DDK) and other useful articulation features with trend analysis.
Beside DDK the module also analyzes front, middle and back articulation process individually.
The lingWAVES vocal load test controls vocal load and endurance of the speaking voice - vocal fatigue. This test gives important and reliable information about voice constitution. It combines a real-time quantitative (loudness, pitch) and qualitative (breathiness, roughness) voice tracking.
A lovely and helpful tool for different voice biofeedbacks, for kids and adults. There are 6 different exercise groups available: Voiced/Voiceless, Loudness, Pitch/F0, Articulation, Voice Onset and Co-articulation
The Voice Handicap Index / Voice Disorder Index (VHI/VDI) or Stimmstörungsindex (SSI) has been established in worldwide as a reliable tool for describing voice-dependent quality of life. The sole purpose of the index is to provide some preliminary information regarding the severity of voice problem as it relates to the most common activities in daily life. lingWAVES offers a VHI-12 form with an automatic result and trend analysis
Voice pathologies require a multidimensional diagnostics. Hoarseness as a common symptom of dysphonia contains the parameters of breathiness and roughness. Acoustic analysis of the voice by means of the well evaluated Goettingen Hoarseness Diagram (GHD) is commonly used and enables to quantitatively describe the periodicity (roughness) and the noise content (breathiness) of voices.
