Helping you to help others to hear better.

Soundbyte Solutions (UK) Ltd is a family-owned company set up in 1995 by Russell and Julia Jepson. We developed a portable, easy to use speech test device, the Parrot, which has proved popular as a consistent, repeatable, reliable way of testing free-field speech discrimination thresholds. Originally with just the McCormick Toy Test, other tests were added to cover children from age 2 to adults.

Further development led to other speech testing products: the Phoenix (2003) which scores using an adaptive algorithm, the Parrotplus (2008) which performs speech in noise, and the Noisecube (2022) which is a free-field noise and warble tone generator.

Our mission is to provide innovative electronic products responding to our customer demands for better speech tests. They are widely used in audiology clinics, cochlear implant centres and schools in the UK and Ireland.
