Vocal Spector came out of clinical practice, not out of a product plan.
For phonetograms there are a few dedicated tools. For everything else — perceptual assessment, acoustic analysis, following a patient across visits — the reality in most clinics is a collection of home-made solutions, spreadsheets, and tools that know nothing about each other.
Two of the founders practise clinically and saw the need in their own work: one coherent tool, with analysis you can trust, that does not require patient audio to leave the machine.
The measures are built on published algorithms and methods from the research literature, adapted and tuned for clinical voice and speech analysis. Sound level calibration follows IEC 61672-1:2013.
The app makes two kinds of network call: a licence check and an update check. No audio and no patient data is ever sent to us.
Recordings and results are stored in the file system on your own machine, in the clear. Encryption at rest is not enabled today, but can be added if your organisation requires it — tell us and we will talk about it.
| Phonetogram | Dedicated tools to produce phonetograms exist, but only phonetograms. |
|---|---|
| Acoustic analysis | Often separate tools, or in-house scripts, with results collated by hand. |
| Perceptual assessment | Paper or a spreadsheet, disconnected from the audio it describes. |
| Follow-up | Requires somebody to hold material from several sources and visits together manually. |
