Decibel sound meter application
In collaboration with SA Health, we will soon be introducing a Video Call decibel sound meter application that can be used for speech therapy and other clinical use cases. This application can be used to provide clinical information about a person's vocal volume and can be used as an assessment or feedback tool. Some example screenshots are shown below:
Once the application is launched, you can select to either Speak or Listen. The patient will only have the Speak option. | ![]() |
Once Speak or Listen is selected, the option to select the preferred microphone on the speaker's device appears. Either the patient or clinician end can select the required option. |

The application then starts to measure the volume of the speaker's voice and shows the data live in a dial and waveform graph. | ![]() |
