VocalCap system enhances audio capture traceability for research

Researchers have developed VocalCap, a browser-based system designed to improve the traceability and integrity of audio capture for vocal biomarker research. The system ensures that each recording is accompanied by evidence of its capture, processing, and quality, utilizing a versioned protocol and preserving various audio formats. Rigorous software testing and a pilot audit confirmed VocalCap's ability to maintain data integrity and verify artifacts across different browser engines, though further studies are needed for device-level acoustic agreement and usability. AI

IMPACT This system could improve the reliability and verifiability of audio data used in AI-driven vocal biomarker research.

    Beyond .WAV: Design and Software Verification of VocalCap, a Traceable Browser-Based Audio Capture System for Vocal Biomarker Research

    Remote voice studies often retain a final audio file with limited evidence about how it was captured, transferred, processed, and accepted. This paper presents VocalCap, an institution-controlled, browser-based system for self-guided capture of voice and related acoustic signals …
