Conversation Paceboard is a modern pacing board with visual cues. It helps individuals with unclear articulation and a fast speaking rate to pace their speech and improve their intelligibility in conversation. CORE FEATURES - A modern pacing board made of 6 interactive circles - Visual cues and feedback; the circles gradually fill with color when pressed at an adjustable speed - Several categories of conversation prompts to get the conversation started - Tactile cues on iPhone for additional feedback HOW IT WORKS The user is instructed to begin answering a conversation question and to hold a circle down each time they say a word or syllable. Each circle gradually fills with color when pressed. When a circle has fully filled with color, the user should move to the next circle and say the next word or syllable. The speed at which each circle fills with color can be adjusted in order to help the user maintain the desired rate of speech. If the user moves to the next circle too quickly, "Too Fast!" will be displayed. BENEFITS Conversation Paceboard is ideal for people who have slurred speech/dysarthria due to Stroke, Brain Injury, Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis, Multiple Systems Atrophy, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Cerebral Palsy. See for yourself how effective a pacing board with additional visual cues and feedback can be!

WHAT USERS SAY "Fantastically easy to see where your pitch is, to set target ranges, to make and analyze recordings, and to export and import recordings. I can't imagine working on my voice without this app." "I've been using Voice Analyst with my transgender clients. It is incredibly user friendly and provides great visual readings of frequency as well as an instant analysis of pitch range and mean. My clients can use it in session and some have downloaded it to work with at home." "Love this app. So simple to use yet it packs all the technology needed to make it easy for me to monitor and motivate myself." Voice Analyst is not a medical device — it measures and records your voice; it does not diagnose or treat any condition. If you are concerned about the quality of your voice, see your doctor and ask for a referral to an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist. Questions or ideas?
