Read the values aloud. Vaelyra writes them down.
Vaelyra is a desktop application for clinical research data entry. You work through the form by voice: read each value aloud, hear it confirmed, and move to the next field. Every confirmed value is written to an encrypted database on your own machine, ready for export to SPSS.
How it works
- Voice-guided entry
- Vaelyra walks through the case report form one field at a time. You read each value aloud, the application repeats it back, and the value is committed only after confirmation. Errors are caught at the moment of entry, not weeks later during data cleaning.
- On-device processing
- Speech recognition runs entirely on your own computer. Audio is transcribed on the machine itself and nothing leaves it: no cloud service, no account, no network connection required for entry.
- Encrypted storage
- Records are stored in an encrypted database on the researcher's own computer. The file on disk is unreadable without the study key, which matters when patient data sits on shared or institutional machines.
- SPSS export
- When entry is complete, export produces an SPSS-ready file with variables, labels and types already defined, so analysis starts from a clean dataset rather than a spreadsheet.
Where the project stands
An MVP of Vaelyra is currently being developed and tested. The application is a desktop tool designed to make collecting structured research data faster and far less tedious. Rather than typing each value by hand, researchers first define the set of data points they want to capture, then enter them hands-free by voice, with the application checking every entry against its expected format as they speak.
The collected data can be reviewed at a glance for completeness and quality, and exported in clean, analysis-ready formats, while remaining stored securely on the researcher's own computer. The goal of this first version is straightforward: to show that the full cycle (defining what to collect, getting it in by voice, and getting it back out for analysis) can be completed quickly, accurately, and with as little friction as possible.
