Application
It is widely used for linguistic and forensic research regarding numerous speech phenomena.
The Articulograph is used for the assessment of speech motor behavior of individuals with Parkinson’s disease, apraxia, dysarthria, or functional speech motor problems as found in stuttering.
Non-articulatory research regards grasping movements as can be found in sign language
Built on experience, used by many
Carstens Medizinelektronik GmbH has been building Articulograph systems for over 30 years in support of speech research
Articulograph AG501 use and reliability backed up by numerous peer-reviewed publications, including published accuracy tests performed by independent users
