<div>For individuals with voice disorders, currently available mobile device applications for measuring voice parameters for voice analysis provide inconsistent readings of sound pressure level, F0, jitter, or shimmer. While mobile applications require further development, they do show promise for producing voice recordings that are able to be accurately analyzed for easing access to technology and for cost-effectiveness. More research on voice analysis applications is required.</div>
