What Others Say About Us ...
AphasiaMate
"At last we have a program we can use with a number
of different client groups on our caseload" (senior,
hospital-based SLP)
"We use AphasiaMate all the time as do the assistants
who take it to people's homes and use it there on a laptop computer. It helps
the clients to concentrate; they do a lot more because they are interested in
what you are showing them. We also found it was useful with dysarthric patients
with poor concentration -- they try to say the answers." (SLP
working with brain injured clients)
"AphasiaMate frees me up to work elsewhere in the classroom
because I can hear whether she is getting it right or wrong. Her face lights up
when she gets 100% and it encourages her to go on." (Teaching
assistant working with a child who has Cerebral Palsy)
SAILS
"Treatment was not merely more effective when clients
used the SAILS program, it was also 20% less expensive than alternative treatments."
(Clinician-researcher, summarizing results of clinical
evaluation of SAILS in treatment of children with phonological disorders)
ECoS/Win
"I couldn't believe how easy it was to set up experiments
using ECoS/WIn. Its not uncommon for us to set up a new experiment and be able
to run in under ten minutes." (University researcher
commenting on impact of ECoS in her lab)
"I am impressed and really excited about the ECoS program.
... it really seems like you have thought of all the right things in putting this
together." (Clinician/Researcher, major hospital-based
speech & hearing center)
ProTrain
"ProTrain makes real-time biofeedback training for voice
disorders universally available to clinicians and their clients."
(from article in Advance for Speech-Language Pathology
magazine).
"Children who are having problems hearing their speech
errors can often see these in the spectrogram. For example, one little guy immediately
saw how the spectrograms of his "s" sounds looked different from the target spectrograms
I showed him and his "s" productions improved almost immediately. ProTrain is
a nice complement to your SAILS system for this population." (SLP
with pediatric private-practice)
TFR
"Your (TFR) software is definitely the best currently
available for Windows." (Engineer, Motorola Corp).
CSRE
"Thanks to CSRE and its fine implementation on relatively
inexpensive platforms and interfaces, I was able to start my lab running in a
fraction of the time required before CSRE. CSRE played a pivotal role in my getting
started as a new assistant professor. Thanks to CSRE's flexibility and ever increasing
functionality, it continues to be our workhorse software seven years later."
(Professor, University of Wisconsin)
"A novice user ... should rapidly master the fundamentals
of CSRE and be able to digitize, analyze and modify a stimulus set, construct
an experimental sequence, and collect data within a very short period of time.
CSRE is an attractive software package, either as a basic self-contained package
or as a tool for teaching the principles of acoustic data analysis and synthesis."
(Ear & Hearing Review) "
In General...
"Your online and phone support has been outstanding."
(Researcher, US Department of Transportation)
"Technical help has been extremely pleasant and competent.
I appreciate the fact that your engineers are so competent." (Researcher,
Los Alamos National Laboratory)
"An especially good program for introducing students
to acoustic analysis on the computer." (Professor,
Pennsylvania State University)
"Great service and very good `bang for the buck'." (Professor,
Ithaca College, New York)
"This is wonderful software for a very good price."
(Engineer, Hearing Aid Manufacturer, Barcelona,
Spain)
"Your software provided the essential tools for my work
to improve clinical techniques for assessing and treating children's phonological
disorders. It can provide much more objective evidence of progress in therapy,
especially when the error sounds are difficult to transcribe (such as fricative
distortions) or when progress is slow. I've also used it to teach students who
have a bad ear how to transcribe fricatives more accurately. Over the past few
years, it has also been an invaluable tool for my research on the consequences
of otitis media on the development of speech. I've found the system comprehensive
and easy to use." (clinician/researcher, SLP
department of leading children's hospital)
