New SMRT (1.1.3) software version released.

A brand new version of the SMRT software (1.1.3) has been released.

The SMRT is a measure of spectral resolution that correlates with speech measures (Holden et al., 2016; Zhou, 2017).  It is available to download for free and is easy to use.  Details on the test can be found in Aronoff and Landsberger (2013).

New features of SMRT 1.1.3:

• Added speech in noise predictions based on SMRT score based on Holden et al., 2016.
• Fixed bugs when using SMRT on a computer not using English. 
  • Specifically, the software only ran correctly when periods were used for decimals and commas were used for thousands.  It should now work correct when numbers are represented as 4.000,3 (most of Europe) or 4 000,3 (e.g. Russia).
• Added ability to change prompt “Which sound is different?” to allow testing in languages other than English.
• Changed “Subject Code Label” to “Subject Code Label or MRN” to clarify that clinics can use a medical record number instead of a subject code.
• Added test duration to the log file.
