Welcome to the Voiceome wiki! Here we can elaborate upon the protocol we used for analysis in the paper (Protocol A) so that you can replicate our work! We can also list out some reference ranges for each of these tasks from the paper so that you can incorporate these normative references across various ages and genders.
You can read the preprint paper here.
