Vocal Biomarkers for Cognitive Screening: What SLPs Need to Know

The voice reveals more than voice quality—emerging research shows acoustic biomarkers can detect early cognitive impairment with up to 89% accuracy. Learn which parameters matter, current validation status, and what this means for speech pathologists as AI-driven screening approaches clinical deployment.

Spectrogram Reading for SLPs: A Visual Guide to Voice Quality

The spectrogram is the most powerful visual tool in voice assessment—but many clinicians find it intimidating. Learn wideband vs narrowband analysis, Titze's voice signal typing (Types 1-4), and how to read harmonic patterns, breathiness, roughness, and pathology indicators.

The Implicit Question: What AI Voice Analysis Actually Measures

Traditional acoustic measures ask explicit questions. AI models ask implicit ones—learned from data, encoded in training. As AI enters clinical voice assessment, understanding what question a model is actually asking becomes the central challenge.

Gender-Affirming Voice Therapy: Why Pitch Is Only Part of the Story

F0 explains only 42% of perceived gender—resonance, intonation, and speech patterns account for the rest. Learn evidence-based pitch targets (180 Hz threshold), why formants require 20% elevation, hormone effects, WPATH SOC-8 guidelines, and how to track progress with acoustic measures.

Jitter and Shimmer: What They Really Tell You (And What They Don't)

Traditional perturbation measures aren't obsolete—but they have critical limitations. Learn when jitter and shimmer are valid, when they fail (severe dysphonia), why ASHA now recommends CPP as primary, and how Praat vs MDVP give different values.
