Sound application
In collaboration with SA Health, we will soon be introducing a Video Call Sound application, for use in specialties including speech therapy and other clinical use cases. This application provides clinical information about a person's vocal volume and pitch and can be used as an assessment or feedback tool. Example screenshots are shown in the overview below:
