Main Features:

The five modules to the vocal practice are:

• Loudness Games
  
• Voiceless/Voiced Games
  
• Pitch Games
  
• Voice Onset Games
  
• Phonation Time Games   

Each module contains five different games to therapeutic work. All the games show in real time the values like Pitch, Loudness, Voiceless/Voiced, in a clear way to guide the patient and the Speech Language Pathologist in the therapy.

Loudness Games
The control of loudness is worked in the dimension of weak and strong. The therapist must teach to the client how to control the changes in loudness, what is visible noticeable through the response in real time to the vocal production. For instance, the client controls the “ witch’s flight” increasing or decreasing the loudness of his/her voice.

             

 

Pitch Games
Using this module, clinicians can help the children refine pitch control. The therapist can configure the interval on the desired one to work with. During the game a graph will be presented indicating the real pitch and if it is in the valid range. If the client varies the intensity and not the pitch, the character will not move, helping the client to distinguish the different characteristics of the speech. 

           

Phonation Time Games
In these games the clinical has a range of tools, which aims the increase in the length of segment emissions. Controlling the phonation time, the client conducts the character in a way to capture prizes and avoid obstacles. The obtained results by the client in each game will be stored so that his/her report is composed.  

          

Voiceless/Voiced Games
When the player is emitting a voiceless sound, the character of the game will perform an action (like “jump”) and when the player is emitting a voiced sound the character will perform another action (like “run”).  

           

Voice Onset Games
During the games, the client will receive points if he/she hits the targets by shooting through the control of his/her voice (it can be used to control the voice onset or emission of plosive sounds). At the end of the game, it will be shown the obtained score and the best results will be stored so that the client feels motivated to break his/her own records.
