Monitor Language Growth with Data Logging

Prev Next

When data logging is on, the device collects language usage data for a person, which you can either upload to the Realize Language website for analysis or save to a file to analyze manually. Data logging helps you track the progress an individual is making with language development. This process allows you to monitor, measure, and maximize the person's use of the device.

Note: If you plan to use the Realize Language website to analyze data, you’ll first need to subscribe and set up an account. For customers outside of the U.S., please contact your local distributor for information about setting up an account.

Enable Data Logging

When data logging is on, your device collects language usage data which you can upload to the Realize Language website for web-based analysis.

Important:

  • If you plan to use the Realize Language website to analyze data, set up a profile before you start collecting data.

  • You can’t link one device to multiple people on a Realize account simultaneously. If you are using a device for evaluation purposes and sharing it between several clients, the data collected will include all the words used by all the clients. It’s therefore recommended that one client use a particular device if you want to use the Realize Language website to analyze that client’s data.

  • You can link one person to multiple devices with a Realize Language account. For example, if a client uses a device at school, a different device at home, and a different device in the community, you can link all these devices to that client’s Realize Language account.
