Wavelet Voice Sonogram

Read full description

"Wavelet Voice Sonogram" is a sound spectrogram app that performs time-frequency analysis of acoustic signals. A spectrogram is a graph displaying the results of a sound frequency spectrum analysis, with time on the horizontal axis, frequency on the vertical axis, and signal strength represented by colors. This app can perform acoustic analysis and display the spectrograms by using three time-frequency analysis methods, Wavelet analysis, Octave Band analysis, and FFT analysis. It can also record sounds from iPhone's built-in microphone. While playing back a recording, you can search for the desired sound and analyze it. "Wavelet Voice Sonogram" makes it easy to analyze the acoustics of speech, instrumental sounds, noise, and more. It can also be used to learn the basics of speech analysis. Features: - Acoustic analysis can be performed using PCM data recorded with the iPhone's built-in microphone. It is possible to analyze 5 seconds of sound data backward from a user-specified point in time. - Three types of acoustic analysis, FFT analysis, octave band analysis and wavelet analysis, can be performed simultaneously. - PCM sound recording and playback is possible up to about 180 seconds, and the audio waveform graph and FFT analysis graph are displayed. While playing back sound, you can search for sound at any point in time. - Zoom in on a specific 10 seconds of PCM data and play back the sound. Used to find a specific sound at the point in time you want to analyze. - The spectrogram analysis result and time axis waveform can be contrasted and played back. Specifications: - Sampling frequency: 48 kHz - PCM recording time: approx. 180 seconds max. - Sound zoom function (10-Sec): Zooms in on any 10 seconds of PCM data and plays back the sound. - 3 types of acoustic analysis function (Analysis): About 5 seconds (Analysis points can be specified using the Time position slider.) -- FFT analysis (FFT): FFT 2048 points -- Octave band analysis (OCT): 1/48 octave band -- Wavelet analysis (DWT): Gabor Wavelet - Sound recording and playback, sound waveform and FFT graph display (Main): PCM graph, 10sec zoom graph, FFT graph. - Time position slider: Points to the cursor position on PCM graph. - Spectrogram display (FFT / OCT / DWT): 5 sec PCM graph and spectrogram analysis graph (vertical axis - time [0 - 5.0 sec], horizontal axis - frequency [100Hz - 8kHz]) - Snapshot (Snap): Save the analysis image in "Photos". Notes: - The acoustic analysis time varies significantly depending on the performance of your iPhone (product generation). It may take about 5 to 20 seconds. - Wireless (Bluetooth) headphones and headsets are not supported. - The first time the app accesses the built-in microphone and Photos after installation, the iOS system will ask you for permission to access them. If you have not enabled this setting, the application will not be able to access them due to iOS system privacy restrictions. Please enable the access permission in the iOS setting "Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos or Microphone". Please visit our iOS app support page for more information on this app.

About

Freq.

Features
Read full description

Freq shows you the frequency of sounds around you. Point your mic at something and see the frequency. If it's a musical note, you'll see which one and how sharp or flat it is. There's a spectrum view to see all the frequencies at once, and a waveform that shows the actual sound. You can adjust how precise the analysis is - faster updates or more accuracy.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Freq. at fortnightly against Wavelet Voice Sonogram's every 8 months. Freq. also leads on price ($0.99 vs $6.99) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
