The Edinburgh Masker is back
Some years ago we introduced a masking tool on our device. Alan Falck the founder of VoiceAmp met Dr Dewar in Edinburgh (husband of the late Ann Dewar SLT)
original inventor. Alan explained VoiceAmp could emulate his original device with software.
Dr Dewar gave VoiceAmp permission to use the Edinburgh Masker name,
all the research files and tapes were collected and handed over to Queen Margaret's University. VoiceAmp have now released the full
Edinburgh masker software on the VA601i fluency device. There are improvements, a wireless option as well as a calibration tool.
