Implementing Acoustic Analysis of Voice through Smartphone Recordings for Better Outcomes in Dysphonia

Implementing Acoustic Analysis of Voice through Smartphone Recordings for Better Outcomes in Dysphonia

The recent study titled A Preliminary Investigation of the Reliability of Acoustic Parameters of Voice through Smartphone Recordings in Individuals with Dysphonia provides significant insights into the reliability of using smartphone recordings for the acoustic analysis of voice in individuals with dysphonia. This research is pivotal for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) aiming to enhance their clinical practice, particularly in the context of telepractice.

In this study, 20 participants were divided into two groups: those with typical voices and those with pathological voices. Acoustic parameters such as Fundamental Frequency (F0), Cepstral Peak Prominence Smoothed (CPPS), and Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) were analyzed. The results indicated no significant perceptual differences between real-time voice and tele-recorded voice, suggesting that smartphone recordings can be a reliable method for assessing voice quality.

Here are some key takeaways for practitioners:

By integrating these findings into your practice, you can enhance the accuracy and reliability of voice assessments, ultimately leading to better outcomes for children with dysphonia. Utilizing smartphone recordings for acoustic analysis can make voice therapy more accessible and effective, particularly in remote or underserved areas.
