The sound of the voice.
Salwa
Research programListening to the nuances of voice.
Salwa is a separate research program at Solutions Robaian. It looks at the links between vocal expression and emotional well-being.
A sentence laid out over time: the pitch, energy and rhythm of the voice.
Our commitments
Separate from Aura.
Aura gathers no data for Salwa. Using Aura never counts as consent to research.
Its own consent.
Any participation will require separate consent and the planned ethics framework.
The research question
What can speech offer, and where should we stop?
Pitch, energy and rhythm shape prosody: how a sentence is spoken. A change in the voice is not enough to assign an emotion to a person. Salwa starts from these limits.
The method
Three readings of one voice.
Pitch, energy, rhythm.

Publications
A voice is more than a score.
These publications study specific populations and protocols. Their results are not Salwa’s and cannot establish a person’s state.
Researchers and partners
Explore voice with the right questions.
Researchers, signal specialists and scientific partners: let’s discuss protocols, individual variation and the conditions for meaningful evaluation.
