A Look at Voice Disorders

Humans have communicated since the beginning of time. Before technology, word of mouth was the main, and sometimes only, form of communication. Imagine if we humans no longer had that capability. Unfortunately, some people live their everyday lives without the ability to speak; those people have a speech, or voice, disorder. The term voice disorder refers to conditions where a person struggles to communicate by mouth. Speech impairments, however, are useful in identifying mental retardation, such as autism, cerebral palsy, and hearing impairments, as well as possible defections in growth and development.

Some noticeable traits of voice disorders include stuttering, articulation difficulties, quality, pitch, and volume of an individual's voice. Besides the obvious vocal impairments, those suffering from a voice disorder also become frustrated while trying to communicate, head jerking and eye blinking while speaking, and embarrassment. Unfortunately, voice disorders can also lead to social disorders. When communication is difficult, building relationships with others can pose as a difficult task to children and adults suffering from speech impairments. Psychological and psychosocial issues may occur throughout the developmental years of those with voice disorders.

There is no way to prevent a speech disorder from developing. Often times, children suffering with mental retardation and hearing loss develop speech disorders. Usually, voice disorders cannot be fully treated, but with the help of speech therapists, voice disorders can become less noticeable. It is best if said disorders are caught early in one's life so that therapy can begin as soon as possible. Contact a doctor when you start witnessing signs of a possible voice disorder. A doctor is able to refer your child to a speech therapist.

Voice SMS! - Ashish, I enjoy sending txt messages and it seems faster to send a Voice one than txt. How do you plan on informing the user that there is a limitation to the amount of voice you can record in a Voice SMS? I believe txt has about 168 character limit.
Voice SMS - Ashish, Is this a Voice message that will be converted to Text and then sent via sms so that the recipient is reading text?
Re: Voise SMS feature on mobile...Yes/No - [quote="Ashish":1j8d830z]As far as spam is concerned, how about if you are aware of the destination from where it's arriving. I myself believe if I had to use this form of communication and I have to choose any one of them by spending same, I'd go for the Voice SMS. Anyone else thinks the same or majority people likes to avoid SMS communication.[/quote:1j8d830z] Hi Ashish, If I registered for something like a business seminar or social event, I can see the benefit of being reminded via text message on my cell phone. However, I'd still prefer text over voice SMS because even if you hired a person with the clearest voice to deliver your voice SMS... I'd still need to listen to that message twice to write down the contact person's info/phone number (if it's different than the one used to leave the message). That's a hassle as I may not have a pen and paper down with me.
