SpeechCatcher

SpeechCatcher brings the full power of computer-assisted phonological analysis to all speech clinicians, researchers and students, for all the world's languages.

SpeechCatcher is a groundbreaking, automated, and language-universal platform designed to address every deficiency of the current system. SpeechCatcher empowers speech clinicians, researchers and students with a full suite of integrated tools.

All SpeechCatcher functions are organized within a streamlined, user-friendly workflow:

1. Speech data recording: During a session, SpeechCatcher presents visual or text-based prompts (images, videos, words) to the client. It records the client’s speech, and aligns the corresponding stimulus to the audio production.
2. Transcript validation: SpeechCatcher displays the audio waveform alongside a model transcription. Using a specialized phonetic keyboard and predictive shortcuts for common speech errors, the SLP can quickly and accurately transcribe the client's actual production. This "transcription-by-modification" method is the fastest and most effective approach recognized within the field; it also allows for optimal use of the speech therapist's clinical judgment, a true requirement for any professional assessment.
3. Automated analysis and reporting: With a single click, SpeechCatcher’s powerful algorithms, built on 20 years of research, perform a battery of automated analyses on the transcribed data.

This workflow is supported by additional functions that make SpeechCatcher not only a tool within the speech clinic or lab but also a trustworthy assistant to all users:

1. Test acquisition: Users can import or download speech tests directly within the secure, end-to-end encrypted application.
2. Assessment report management: User-friendly functions streamline the tasks of annotating and exporting reports.
3. Secure archiving and exporting: All data - including client information, test results, and audio recordings - is securely encrypted and archived.

Thanks to seamless links between the audio data, their transcription and corresponding analytic results, all the information relevant to an assessment can be easily accessed. Together, the features and functions of SpeechCatcher offer unparalleled support for the recording, annotation and analysis of clinical speech data, as well as for all tasks related to the management of these data both during testing and over time.
