For Speech-Language Pathologists
Clinical collaboration around intelligibility and participation
Helping you be understood, not just heard
DysVoxa Neurospeech Platform is designed as a practical support layer for real-world communication. SLP involvement is only for app testing, not for user profile enrollment or outcome tracking.
Enrollment workflow
- Guided voice sample capture to establish personalized pronunciation profile.
- Domain phrase lists protect medication and therapy terminology from incorrect rewrites.
- 5-minute baseline setup, then iterative improvements with clinical feedback.
Utterance strategy
- Target phrase length: 5-10 words, usually 3-7 seconds.
- Silence threshold around 700ms, with dynamic adaptation when enabled.
- Tiered correction balances intelligibility gains and identity preservation.

Pilot protocol framing
- Initial cohort: 5 participants, diverse etiologies and severity profiles.
-
Measure baseline and follow-up intelligibility using Word Error Rate (WER) and listener-based
understanding ratings.
- Assess psychosocial outcomes: speaking confidence, participation, and communication burden.

Neuroplasticity, recovery windows, and real-time support
After stroke, brain injury, or progressive neurological disease, neuroplasticity offers a window of recovery. DysVoxa supports this window by reducing communication barriers during rehabilitation:
-
Early recovery: In the first weeks and months post-stroke or TBI, intensive practice (including speech practice) correlates with better neurological outcomes. Reducing communication frustration removes a barrier to participation.
-
Confidence and engagement: When patients can be understood in real-time, they're more likely to engage in social and professional activities, which reinforces neuroplastic recovery pathways.
-
Progressive disease: For conditions like ALS or Parkinson's, DysVoxa offers a non-pharmacological intervention to slow perceived decline in intelligibility and preserve participation as motor control changes.
-
Outcome measurement: Combined with your traditional therapy metrics (articulation scoring, voice quality, duration), DysVoxa output (WER, real-world intelligibility ratings) offers a second stream of evidence that your interventions are working.
Clinical framing: Position DysVoxa as a supportive tool that doesn't replace speech therapy—it extends and amplifies it by enabling real-time practice and participation in daily communication contexts where formal articulation drills would not occur.
Current quality-pass state
- Current reference set includes 120 labeled utterances and 480 reference tokens.
- Quality harness runs 3 comparable modes: no_correction, correction_no_bias, correction_with_bias.
- Outputs are tracked in machine-readable summaries for internal comparison.
- Iteration remains active: correction logic and dictionaries are still being refined between passes.
