## BioVoice
BioVoice is a user-friendly software platform designed to perform acoustical analyses of the human voice. BioVoice was developed at the Biomedical Engineering Lab, Università degli Studi di Firenze. It allows recording the human voice of newborns, children, adults, and singing voice, performing both time and frequency analysis, estimating more than 20 acoustical parameters. The user has to follow a few mandatory steps to perform voice analysis.

## Requirements and Running
BioVoice is a software platform designed in MATLAB® and it requires MATLAB® Runtime R2017b.
Here it executable beta version is available,  that does not require the installation of the MATLAB® software.

The computer must be equipped with at least an Intel® Core™i3 processor with a 64-bit card. Windows OS (from Windows 7 on) is required. It does not run under Mac OS.

To run BioVoice, click on the green "clone or download" button on the top right side of the window. Save the `BioVoice-master.zip` file and unzip it. Launch `BioVoice.exe` and follow the instructions to install BioVoice `BioVoice_Installing_Guide.pdf`.

## Distribution restrictions
BioVoice is the exclusive property of Università degli Studi di Firenze, and is distributed free of charge on this platform. Any unauthorized use or its marketing will be legally prosecuted.
