Real Speech
Real Speech is a real-time biofeedback tool used in clinical and educational environment.
System Overview
Real Speech is a real-time biofeedback tool used in both clinical and educational environments. It’s used to guide diagnostic assessments for speech disorders by measuring respiration, phonation, and resonance. Our software provides a wide range of parameters and special features, benefitting both clinicians and clients.
Features
- Comprehensive analysis and processing tools.
- Real-time displays – spectrogram, F0, intensity, vowel tracking, and formant (LPC), etc.
- Enhances client’s biofeedback using special features that allows the user to model-match a record sample.
- Easy-to-use interface.
- Clinicians enjoy the easy-to-use format in logging client's session and one-step printing.

Functions
01 Speech Respiration
— 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.
02 Phonation
— 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).
03 Resonance
— Assesses oral and nasal cavity dysfunction, harshness, sharpness, tremulous voice, obstructive voice, hyponasality, and hypernasality.
— Real-time measurement of harmonics, formant, and focus area, in order to establish a well-rounded articulation framework.
04 Articulation
— 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).
Hardware Requirements
