Cantaris.
Voice and Speech Analysis.
With Cantaris, you record, measure and track the voices of your clients. So the things you can hear in a session become data you can compare, document, and share.
What Cantaris means for Singing Voice Specialists
Hear it in your room.
Measure it on the screen.
Cantaris runs on Windows and macOS. Try it with your own equipment, your own clients, your own voices.
Who is it for?
Objective information beside your professional ear.
You hear breathiness, strain, instability. Cantaris turns those impressions into numbers — CPPS, HNR, jitter, AVQI, DSI — with published references next to them. GRBAS and CAPE-V live in the same record.
- Published reference values beside every number — a result you can read at a glance.
- GRBAS and CAPE-V captured in the same record as the acoustics.
- Objective before-and-after to document progress for clients and colleagues.
Show your student what their ear is hearing.
Live pitch feedback, the Vocal Ring number, the tessitura in relation to a sung piece — in a lesson they become a shared language between teacher and singer. Across a training period the overlays show exactly what changed.
- Live pitch and loudness feedback the singer can actually see.
- Range, tessitura and Vocal Ring mapped against the piece they're singing.
- Overlaid takes that show how the voice opened up across a term.
Built for the pipeline.
Scientific-level calibration with Praat under the hood. All acoustic data is saved automatically, with CSV and WAV batch export for anything downstream. Full per-user encryption, with optional shared workspaces on network drives.
- Praat-grade, reproducible measurements saved automatically.
- CSV and WAV batch export that drops straight into any pipeline.
- Per-user encryption, with optional shared workspaces on a network drive.

Maximum Vocal Performance, drawn in pitch and loudness.
A complete voice field in twelve simple recordings, with live feedback that shows the singer, client or student exactly what their voice is doing the moment they're doing it.
Cantaris plots every voiced frame on an interactive piano diagram: pitch along the keyboard, loudness up the y-axis in calibrated dB.
How the voice behaves when it speaks.
Where the phonetogram uses sustained vowels and glides, the Speech Range Profile captures pitch and loudness in connected speech — the way the voice actually works while talking.
Four short conditions — soft, normal, loud and an optional shout — each return an average pitch, its musical note, and a loudness in calibrated dB. In a healthy voice the speech profile sits well inside the full range; when it crowds the edges, you can see it.
The singing voice, on its own terms.
The Song Range Profile records and analyses a sung performance, so the singing voice can be assessed separately from speech — built for singers, teachers and vocal coaching.
The passage is plotted on the same pitch-and-loudness diagram, ready to overlay and compare. Across a training period the takes line up side by side, so an opening range is something you can point to.
Voice Lab measures, in one record.
The Phonanium Voice Lab adds aerodynamic, acoustic and perceptual measures — maximum phonation time, Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI), Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI), and your perceptual rating — so they all live in one shared record.
When you need more details.
Phonanium Voice Lab offers extra options for the moments your assessment can't ignore — research-grade analyses with the editing tools to get to the right second of audio.
A waveform you can zoom, pan and scroll. Click-and-drag to select a region and run deeper Praat-based analyses on selections.
Trusted by voice professionals.
Finally, a voice analysis tool that doesn't require a tech degree. Cantaris is clear, quick and fits right into my sessions without disrupting the flow.
The measurements are reliable and the reports make communication with my clients so much easier. I spend less time explaining and more time coaching.
The built-in tutorials and the clarity of the interface are a game changer. I felt confident using Cantaris from day one — no onboarding headaches whatsoever.

We work with institutional purchasing. Everything your finance and IT departments are likely to ask for is set out below, so you can get started without a call.
Requesting a quotation
Email us at institutions@cantaris-software.com with your institution, the number of users or workstations, and the license period you have in mind. We reply by return with a formal quotation as a PDF, valid for thirty days and carrying our full company, VAT and bank details — a document you can hand straight to purchasing.
Quotations for institutions in the United States are issued in dollars, and the USD amount on the quotation is the amount you are charged. The figure your department approves is the figure on the invoice, with no exchange-rate difference appearing in between.
We accept purchase orders and invoice against your PO number on thirty-day terms. Payment can be made by bank transfer, or by departmental purchasing card where your institution allows it.
For your IT and security review
Cantaris runs entirely on the local machine. Recordings, case files and results are written to the device and stay there — there is no cloud and no server behind the software, nothing is transmitted to us, and we hold no customer recordings of any kind. For most IT reviews, that answers the question before it is asked.
Data is encrypted per user at rest, and teams that want to work from a shared library can point Cantaris at a workspace on your own network drive, under your own access control.
Cantaris does not diagnose. It records the voice and reports objective measures of the sound signal; the interpretation stays entirely with the professional. More on data protection →
The paperwork your legal and purchasing departments will want to read before a requisition is raised. Any further vendor or tax documentation your finance department needs, we will provide on request.
* One license covers two computers. Every plan includes every mode — the voice, speech and song range profiles, the Phonanium Voice Lab, and the further detailed analyses — plus all updates within your licensed period.

Measures expressed in absolute loudness (dB SPL) — the voice and speech range profiles, and the DSI — depend on a calibrated signal chain. Our standard set is an AKG C544 L headset microphone with a Focusrite iTrack Solo audio interface: a fixed mouth-to-microphone distance and a stable input stage, so your loudness values stay comparable between sessions, between clients, and between colleagues.
A voice tool built by people who measure voices.
"I created Cantaris with one clear purpose: to objectify and measure my work as a voice specialist, and visualize for my clients what we hear and feel. From the moment I started using it, I noticed some real benefits. Explaining how a client's voice works became much easier."
The research behind every measure.
Youri Maryn (PhD) is a clinical speech-language pathologist (European Institute for ORL-HNS-SBS) and visiting professor in voice disorders and instrumental phonetics (Ghent University, University College Ghent). In his research he focuses on various topics related to voice pathology, clinical voice assessment, and clinical voice treatment. Supported by all his research on and developments in the clinical assessment of acoustic voice/speech signals, he founded the company Phonanium in 2017 under the motto of “State-of-the-art voice/speech documentation through sophisticated and high-quality yet accessible acoustic voice/speech analyses”. In 2026, some of Phonanium’s tools for Praat-based acoustic voice/speech analysis have been implemented in the broader platform provided by Cantaris.
