Where does Vox store patient files and information?

After installing the program, you need to configure Vox Phonetography for one single time. During this configuration process, the software will prompt you to determine where the patient files must be stored (the Source Directory). This can be any folder on your computer, external drive or network drive, depending on your digital work environment and possible safety regulations. On startup, Vox will check if this Source Directory is still available, and control all acoustic and text data transfer to and from this folder. This makes Vox’ privacy and safety fully dependent on your work environment. Vox itself (i.e. the Praat plugin itself), does not and cannot store any patient information to any other place than this Source Directory.

Do I need to make recurrent payments?
