About Your NeuroTrace Assessment
This guide explains what to expect when a clinician assigns a NeuroTrace speech recording, how the current web workflow handles your submission, and where to raise questions or accessibility needs.
Current product boundary
Submission starts private automated processing; it does not provide a diagnosis.
The web application attaches your final recording to its assignment, then queues automated transcription and the assigned CTP or PBJ workflow. Technical outputs are restricted to the owning verified clinician, are not shown to patients, and require professional review in context.
Before you begin
Know what has been requested
Your clinician chooses the task and should explain why it was assigned, how the recording may be used, and what applies in your care setting.
Ask care-specific questions
Ask your clinician about the purpose of the assessment, whether participation is optional, possible consequences, and when feedback may be available.
Request accessible support
Tell your clinician before recording if disability, hearing, vision, language, motor, or technology needs could affect access or performance.
Prepare the recording
Use a working microphone in a suitable setting, follow the displayed instructions, and give your own response without outside coaching.
Submission and follow-up
Your recording remains tied to one attempt
A final submission cannot be silently overwritten. This preserves what was submitted and makes any later recording request explicit.
Confirm before submitting
Listen to the preview when available and submit only when you are satisfied. Confirmation creates the final recording for that attempt.
Report technical problems
If the browser, microphone, stimulus, or upload fails—or the conditions do not reflect your usual performance—stop and contact your clinician.
A re-record is a new attempt
Your clinician may request another recording. The earlier submission is preserved, and the new request appears separately in My Tests.
Only authorized playback
You may play your own submitted attempt, and the clinician who owns the assignment may stream it privately. Other patients and clinicians cannot access it.
Rights and responsibilities
Clear information supports fair participation
Professional testing guidance places responsibilities on both the people providing an assessment and the person completing it.
Information you can understand
You should receive understandable information about the task, process, intended use, confidentiality, available support, and applicable retesting policy.
Privacy and questions
You may review and correct the optional name and birth-date details supplied with your invitation. They are identification context only and are not sent into automated assessment processing. Ask your clinician who can access your information and how it is used.
Follow the provided instructions
Complete the assigned task honestly, follow the administration directions, and promptly report disruptions or conditions that may affect the recording.
Protect assessment materials
Do not copy, publish, or share protected assessment content or another person’s recording. This protects privacy and the integrity of future assessments.
