SPEECH STUDIO SOFTWARE:
  • record speech and Laryngograph® and optionally up to two more waveforms to hard disk
  • real time display of waveforms, fundamental frequency (Fx), amplitude (Ax), frication, contact quotient (Qx), spectrogram and LPC spectrum
  • high quality playback
  • display of fundamental frequency (Fx) and/or closed quotient (Qx)
  • pattern display combining Fx, amplitude (Ax), frication and optionally nasality
  • realtime acoustic spectrogram with narrowband (40Hz) or broadband (200Hz) resolution
  • realtime display of formants via LPC spectrum
  • Sustained vowel analysis
    – Minimum, maximum, average and SD for Fx and Qx
    – Jitter (%)
    – Shimmer (% and dB)
    – HNR (harmonic to noise ratio)
    – NNE (normalised noise equivalent)
    – RAP (relative amplitude perturbation)
  • Connected speech analysis (QA)
    – First and second order frequency distribution (DFx1 and 2)
    – Pitch crossplot (CFx) with irregularity score (%)
    – First and second order closed quotient distribution (DQx1 and 2)
    – Closed quotient crossplot (CQx) with irregularity score (%)
    – First and second order amplitude quotient distribution (DAx1 and 2)

    – Speech pattern elements – time spent in voice, non voice, friction and
       nasalance (with optional Nasality Processor) (%)
  • – Dynamic phonetogram – Ax vs Fx, first and second order
    – Qx vs Fx, first and second order
