Speech-language pathologists utilize special computer software to analyze characteristics of the voice. This helps to identify voice abnormalities and provides biofeedback to correct voice problems.
Nasometry is used in the identification and treatment of resonance disorders (problems of too much or too little nasal quality in the voice).
