Disfluency Index Counter Plus vs eVAS

The easiest, cheapest and most advanced way to track your %SS (Percentage of stuttered syllables). The Disfluency Index Counter app allows Speech and Language Therapists to perform a live count of the number of fluent or disfluent syllables. This application comes with two styles of counters: A simple and an advanced counter. The simple version of the Disfluency Index Counter uses two simple buttons that record the amount of times the SLP pushes the buttons. There is an "F" button for a Fluency Syllable & and a "D" button for a disfluent/stuttered syllable. A live track of the total number of syllables recorded is shown on the main screen as well as the number of fluent and disfluent syllables/words entered. Once you are finished with your data collection you press "Done" to see the results. Disfluency Index Counter provides the following results: 1. Total number of words/syllables: 2. Number of fluent words/syllables: 3. Number of disfluent words/syllables: 4. The percentage of fluent words/syllables: 4. The percentage of disfluent words/syllables. The advanced counter allows therapists to specifically identify the types of disfluencies exhibited by the client. The SLP can choose from Block, Prolongation or Repetition. Speech Therapists can easily e-mail or print the results to themselves. It saves you time and makes figuring out the % of stuttered syllables a lot easier- we do it for you!

The Electronic Visual Analog Scale (eVAS) is an ad-free iPad app that allows users to digitally track visual analog scores using 10 cm slider channels with various customizations and export saved data in tables. It can be used as a pain scale tracker or for any other application that requires user input tracking on a 10 cm visual analog scale.* eVAS was designed and developed in 2023 by Ryan Tennant in partnership with the Biomechanics and Injury Prevention Lab at the University of Waterloo. Funding for this app was provided through the Centre of Research Expertise for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders (CRE-MSD) that receives funding through a grant provided by the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development. We provide our users with various customizations unique to eVAS. Users can customize their collection settings by: - choosing one of three default images or uploading an image from their device to be stored locally, - specifying a session identification label, - setting left and right anchor label text, - selecting among 1-22 collection channels to record visual analog scores, - setting a recurring alert reminder within the app, and - exporting their data in .CSV or .XLSX format via e-mail or other file-sharing methods available on their device. Find the complete instructions and other information on using eVAS under the info icon on the Collection Settings screen. *The slider length is 10 cm — output scores range from 0 to 1 for each channel with a precision of 6 digits. The 10 cm visual analog scale and threshold values for clinically relevant pain have been previously evaluated in clinical research applications with humans, such as detecting clinically relevant low back pain [1,2]. The design of eVAS employs the 10 cm scale that has been validated in peer-reviewed literature [1-5]. Its design is further informed by current research validating the reliability and accuracy of clinically relevant pain using visual analog scales through touchscreen devices [3-5].
