The "Voice Meter Pro" app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, is a simple, but effective app that helps children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD's), voice disorders, or any other child (or adult) monitor the volume of their own voice in a Fun and Engaging way.
Children with Asperger’s and other ASD’s often have difficulties producing the appropriate voice volume in different settings. Some children on the autism spectrum speak too quietly. Others speak too loudly. Still others do not compensate adequately for the social milieu or ambient noise level.
Understanding abstract concepts, such as the volume of one’s voice, can be difficult for children with ASD's. It’s well understood that adding a visual component to the otherwise abstract concept can often be very helpful for individuals with ASD.
OK so how does the app work?
Well….if a child is talking to quietly a blue background with a cartoon character struggling to hear is displayed. If a child is talking too loudly the background changes to red and the character puts it’s fingers in its ears. If the volume level is acceptable a green background with a smiling happy character is displayed.
• The on screen “volume thermometer” dynamically displays the volume level as it changes.
• There’s a "Sensitivity" slider so the adult can adjust the volume sensitivity to suit both the user and the environment.
• There’s also a "Dampening" slider. This helps avoid the meter bouncing around in between words by introducing a slight delay before any movement is shown on the “volume" thermometer.
• To give the user total control over the app the Upper and Lower limits of the "Green" (acceptable volume area) can now be adjusted by the user.
• For convenience the app works in both portrait and landscape modes on all the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.
• the iPhone version of the app has a switch to enable the iPhone to vibrate should the upper threshold level be exceeded for longer than 4 seconds.
We want to make this app the very best it can be and to this end we have included a feedback form inside the app for users to submit any issues or suggestions as to how it can be improved.
Why not download the app and give it a try?...... you might find it a very useful tool.

Easy to use and great graphics!! Best version I've seen
I work with children with speech difficulties and have found this app incredibly useful to work on voice volume in different settings, and while practising different emotions! The children all respond to the clear graphics and learn to alter their voices. Love being able to adjust all the settings, and the increased sensitivity. Also have to give 5 stars for customer support. Fast response and really interested in valid feedback. Highly recommend this app!

uselsss and east of money
What a shame I spent $4.99 on this app which does not work at all despite spending a lot of time playing with the settings. I wish I could get a refund as I feel totally ripped off and mad. The red line moved a tiny bit when screaming into it.
waste of money
not worth $5 it doesn’t have any special feathers. just what you see, a thermometer going up and down. there’s something similar for free. wish i could get a refund
HELP!!!!
My app crashes every time the meter hits the green. I couldn't find an email address anywhere to get support. My IOS is compatible and I have cleared the cashe, but it still crashes. I need help or a refund.
Great app
Although it takes a bit to get used to the features (dampening, thresholds, and sensitivity), once you get them, the app runs pretty flawlessly.
App developer has been awesome at responding to emails and feedback. Excited about the upcoming updates to the app!
Great for teaching vocal intensity control
I’ve used this app many times with the children I work with. I like the customization features that allow me to change sensitivity settings. The only change I would like to see added is a bell or vibrate feature when the meter is out of the green zone. Otherwise, great app!
Needed serious adjustment
With sensitivity at 100% and dampening at 0%, I got it to work on my ipad pro 12.9. At default settings, I had to scream at the mic to even register.
Scam
This app does not open. It does not even deserve one star. It looked like a great app but when I went to open it, it immediately crashed. I want my money back!
Behaviorist for Austism
I just bought this App to use with a student who is not aware of his voice volume. I did not have any problems opening the App or adjusting the sensitivity. I have tested it on myself and am excited to try it with my student. The green range for appropriate voice is a little too big, but other than that I think this App will be very helpful.
App won't open
Just bought this app because it looked more kid-friendly than other volume meters. It won't open and I'm feeling like a sucker because it was not a free app. Tried to write for app support but that page also wouldn't open. Hoping they'll fix it!
