Super Nasal/Oral Ratiometry System
System Overview
SNORS+ / Linguagraph

 
SNORS+ Multiparameter Speech Workstation
SNORS+ is a Windows 95® version of the University of Kent SNORS airflow system. As well as being a stand-alone SNORS system, SNORS+ also allows the addition of the Kent Linguagraph electropalatography system and/or Laryngograph® (i.e. it is SNORS plus other instruments). In addition to the new software, SNORS+ utilises a simple interface, to enable the connection of the extra instruments to the computer’s standard SNORS data acquisition card.

SNORS+ allows simultaneous assessment of five important parameters of speech production, in real-time. Parameters can be displayed as trend waveforms over time, or as 2-D dynamic displays. Additionally, the detailed speech and Laryngograph® Lx waveforms can be viewed.
