Product Description: 

Dr. Speech: Real Speech is a real-time biofeedback tool for professionals and home users that is used in both clinical and educational environments to guide diagnostic assessments for speech disorders by measuring respiration, phonation, and resonance.

Main Features: 

  • It provides a range of parameters and special features, benefitting both clinicians and clients.
  • Designed to improve speech, hearing, language, cognition, vocabulary, reading, and functional skills.
  • Analysis and processing tools.
  • Real-time displays – spectrogram, F0, intensity, vowel tracking, and formant (LPC).
  • Enhances client’s biofeedback using special features that allow the user to model-match a recorded sample.
  • Assesses shortness of speech, hyperkinetic, abnormal pause, inspiratory pronunciation, and hard glottal attack or breathy speech.
  • Real-time measurement of maximum phonation time (MPT) and maximum counting ability (MCA).
  • EGG measurement of speech respiration, including Shimmer, Jitter, F0 tremor, and Amplitude tremor.
  • Assesses abnormal frequency, tone disorders (low and high pitch, monotone, high-frequency variability), abnormal intensity (low and high intensity, low and high-intensity variability), abnormal vocal quality (hoarseness, roughness, breathiness).
  • Real-time measurements of phonation, including pitch, loudness, voice range profile, contact quotient (CQ), contact quotient perturbation (CQP), contact index (CI), contact index perturbation (CIP), opening rate (OR), and closing rate (CR).
  • Assesses oral and nasal cavity dysfunction, harshness, sharpness, tremulous voice, obstructive voice, hyponasality, and hypernasality.
  • Real-time measurement of harmonics and formant to establish a well-rounded articulation framework.
  • EGG measurement of resonance, including normalized noise energy (NNE), harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
  •  Assessment of the structural abnormalities of the jaw, lip, tongue and soft palate, functional disorders, target phoneme’s pronunciation characteristic misunderstandings, causes of tone and rhythm abnormalities, speech, clarity, and intelligibility.
  • Real-time measurement of spectrograms and articulation movement (including tongue position, jaw, and lip).

Primary Specifications: 

  • Windows 7 SP1 and above.
  • Hard drive with at least 1GB of free space.
  • High-quality microphone (unidirectional dynamic or condensed).
  • Speaker.
