Question
How can I load recorded speech on my GSI Audiometer?
Answer

The AudioStar Pro includes the following Special Tests* on every instrument and the Pello includes the following Special Tests with the Speech Plus License:
- QuickSIN

*Additionally, the TEN Test is integrated into every AudioStar Pro.
In order to add additional CDs to your audiometer, GSI must extract the tracks from the CD and convert them to XML .WAV files. The original CD that you wish to be extracted as well as the score sheet (or script) with the lists of words on each track will need to be mailed to GSI along with the letter of ownership document. The letter of ownership states that the CD is your media and you are allowing GSI to change the format of it. Additionally, the document requests information about the audiometer to be loaded with the new .WAV files to ensure the proper format is delivered. This process takes 4 - 6 weeks to complete so if it is a CD that you use frequently, it is recommended that you make a copy to keep in your office for use during the time it is processing at GSI. When the extraction process is complete, GSI will send a USB drive with the new files for you to load on your instrument.
