Semi-automated voice evaluation.
This report describes a voice evaluation procedure that in some way parallels the audiologic tests used for hearing and has multiple uses both clinically and in research. It uses a simultaneous eight-channel input, is not difficult to use, requiring between 12 and 25 minutes to administer, and provides the physician with a printout in standardized form before the patient leaves the room. This three-page report includes 15 abstracted or calculated values, normal ranges by sex for each value, notes that draw attention to deviations from the normal, a summary profile, a graphic representation of the evaluation, and raw data waveforms.
