S/Z Ratio

S/Z Ratio is an evaluation utility for speech-language pathologists who provide assessment and/or treatment to clients with voice disorders.

With a built-in stopwatch feature, S/Z Ratio allows for the timing of a clientʼs /s/ and /z/ maximum phonation times. Once maximum phonation times are taken, an s/z ratio is instantly calculated. Calculated ratios are displayed in a color-coded fashion to provide visual feedback for quick interpretation of testing results. A reference information screen is also included to assist clinicians and clients in interpreting the obtained s/z ratio results.

Consider using this application throughout the evaluation and treatment process: (1) during initial evaluations, (2) as a screening tool to identify the need for further assessment, (3) during treatment sessions for visual, instant feedback, and (4) as a re-evaluation measure of progress based on therapeutic interventions.

Whether you specialize in voice therapy or provide treatment to the occasional client with voice disturbances, this application is a must-have. S/Z Ratio provides a wealth of features including:
