Phonetogram VDC
Today, the voice field is the most widely used application for clinical voice diagnostics worldwide.
Phonetogram VDC
The vision and demand for multidimensional recording of vocal function has now become a modern, practical and powerful reality with the lingWAVES Phonetogram. Pitch and intensity range can be determined in combination with voice sound (irregularity-roughness, noise-accentuation and singer format carrying capacity) in just a few minutes. This means that not only organic but also functional voice disorders can now be better identified and documented.
In addition, clinical diagnostics are supported by numerous standard data comparisons and displays as well as pre-post trend displays for simple, prompt and clinically evaluated assessment support for voice disorders. Today, the voice range profile is the most widely used application for clinical voice diagnostics worldwide and is characterized by ongoing care and maintenance as well as customer-specific service.
Information on the Phonetogram VDC
Here you will find more information and frequently asked questions about our VDC module. We would also be happy to advise you in person.
Speaking Voice Profile and Shouting Voice
The speaking voice profile determines the performance of the speaking voice. It is measured for quiet, normal and loud speaking; likewise, the shouting voice is determined. In the phonetogram, a new factor has been introduced for the increase in pitch when the volume increases (ability to increase) - the speaking profile slope. The increase should be quite steep for the normal voice . Lower than 1.5 octaves between soft speaking voice and calling voice.
Speaking voice profile with shouting voice: the phonetogram VDC has introduced the speaking profile slope. The increase is steep for a normal voice.
Comparison of two recordings: All parameters of a recording can be compared with other recordings of the same patient. The program consistently and clearly displays whether positive (green) or negative (red) changes have occurred. The image above shows a comparison of the voice field rise that has improved significantly.
Singing Profile
lingWAVES VDC creates a singing voice field for evaluating the range and dynamics of the patient's voice as a cluster or outline display. In addition, there is the option of standard voice field coverage, which for the first time enables a numerical comparison between the patient's voice field and the standard voice field. In addition to global values for the range and dynamics of the voice, detailed information on volume and pitch dynamics is also displayed. An interesting feature is the comparison with other recordings.
Frequency and outline field: View of the singing voice field, which can be displayed as a cluster or outline. The frequency distribution for loudness and pitch can be seen on the left and at the bottom of the diagram. Global data of the singing voice profile is displayed on the right. In addition, there is the singing pitch field area measure, which indicates the percentage of a recorded singing pitch field that covers the specified standard pitch field. The singing voice profile area measurement is a valuable index for documenting changes in the voice.
Voice range and roughness: During the recording of the singing voice field, quality characteristics of the voice are also measured. The image shows the irregularity of the vocal cord vibration, a measure of the roughness of the voice. Green areas show good regularity, yellow and red show a correspondingly high irregularity.
Possibilities
- Frequency display
- Outline field
- Display of the standard tuning field
- Irreverence - Roughness
- Noise - breathiness
- Carrying capacity - singer formant
DSI
The Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) is a recognized measure for the one-dimensional assessment of voice quality and can objectively represent treatment and therapy progress. In VDC, the DSI was combined with the Vospector measurement for the objective RBH determination of a vowel.
Clear progress documentation - pre-post trend analysis
VDC now has a progress trend display of a patient's key voice parameters over several sessions. This allows the (hopefully successful) progress of a treatment or therapy to be documented objectively, e.g. for health insurance companies, medical records and the patient themselves.
