Enhanced Ultrasound Tongue Imaging

LinguaSound 3D

LinguaSound 3D is enhanced ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) software that incorporates automated contour estimation and 3D modelling techniques to visualise the shape, position and movements of the tongue in real-time. The 3D model, which can be rotated 360˚, can simplify the interpretation of conventional ultrasound tongue imaging.

3D Electropalatography

LinguaGraph 3D

3D Electropalatography (3D EPG) uses state-of-the-art computer animation and 3D modelling techniques to illustrate where the tongue touches the hard-palate during speech. The 3D model, which can be rotated 360°, provides direct articulatory information in real-time.

Electropalatography

LinguaGraph

The LinguaGraph electropalatography (EPG) system monitors tongue-palate contact by using a custom-made artificial palate that contains 62 electrodes embedded on its lingual surface. EPG provides direct real-time information that can be used to study or improve articulation patterns.

Electropalatography Palate

Electropalatography (EPG) palates are custom-made for each user and simply clip to the upper teeth. In order to create an EPG palate, a qualified dentist must first take an impression of the upper palate and teeth. A plaster model is then created from the impression and sent directly to us for palate manufacture.

Electropalatography Palate Kit

Electropalatography (EPG) palate kits enable orthodontic technologists to manufacture EPG palates locally. Each kit contains:

• 62 silver electrodes with attached leads.
• EPG Connector board.
• EPG Connector board cover.
• Heat shrink tubing.
• Instruction manual.

Nasometry

Nasality Microphone

The Nasality Microphone is a low cost, handheld, nasometry unit that detects nasality during speech production. It uses a lightweight acoustic separator that is fitted with highly directional nasal and oral microphones. The portable design is quick and easy to assemble, and comes complete with a slimline carry case.

Nasometry

Replacement windshields

Slip-on foam windshields, made from durable, high quality open-cell controlled-density acoustic foam. Designed to protect the microphone elements from contamination, and to reduce noise from plosive sounds.

Anemometry

Super Nasal-Oral Ratiometry System (SNORS)

SNORS detects nasal and oral airflow during speech to provide a non-invasive objective assessment of velopharyngeal function. It uses a lightweight dual chamber mask that is held over the nose and mouth. A soft silicone cuff moulds to the contours of the face providing a comfortable air tight seal.

Rapid response airflow sensors and microphones are contained in both the nasal and oral chambers of the mask to enable aerodynamic and acoustic analysis.

Anemometry

Replacement silicone cuff

Replacement silicone cuff for the SNORS anemometer. Autoclavable up to 134 °C (±3 °C).

Electroglottography

EGG-D200

Electroglottography (EGG) is a non-invasive technique of monitoring vocal fold vibration by sensing the electrical conductance between two electrodes placed on the neck, either side of the thyroid cartilage.

The EGG-D200 is a portable electroglottography system that provides qualitative and quantitative information on vocal fold vibration.

Frame Grabber

USB 3.0 video capture device

A frame grabber is a device that captures (or grabs) digital frames from analog or digital video streams directly to a computer. Frame grabbers enable established imaging techniques such as videofluoroscopy, nasendoscopy, stroboscopy and ultrasound to be synchronously viewed alongside multiparameter speech data.

Microphones

Although many laptop computers and tablets have built-in microphones, the quality is often poor. For higher quality speech recording and analysis, we recommend using an external USB microphone. This type of microphone requires very little setup and provides consistent recording quality across different computers.

Webcams

It can sometimes be useful to synchronously capture video and speech data. Although many laptop computers and tablets have built-in webcams, the image quality is often poor. For higher quality video recording and analysis, we recommend using an external USB webcam.
