Hoarseness Evaluation
What a hoarseness evaluation asks, where its questions come from, and who reviews the answers.
This hoarseness evaluation page shows intake questions on voice symptoms, voice use, health history, and habits, asked before a voice visit. They come from the voice clinic forms of the University of Texas Voice Center and the Tanner Clinic Voice & Swallowing Center.
Hoarseness evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a hoarseness evaluation in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
- Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
- Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
- Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.
The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Hoarseness evaluation: FAQ
What does a hoarseness evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on the University of Texas Voice Center and Tanner Clinic voice forms. This page groups them into six areas: voice symptoms, onset, voice use, health history, habits, and goals.
Who answers the hoarseness evaluation questions, and when?
The patient answers them before the visit. The University of Texas Voice Center form marks whether the visit is new or a follow-up.
Why does a voice clinic ask about singing and work?
Voice use is part of the history on both source forms. The Tanner Clinic form asks how the patient uses their voice at work, at school, and at home.
Is it the same as a voice clinic intake?
It can be. The questions on this page come from two voice clinic intake forms.
Is there a hoarseness evaluation template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. The University of Texas Voice Center form also adds scored voice and reflux scales, which this page leaves out.
What happens after the patient answers?
The practice's team reviews the answers before the visit and decides on next steps.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
Can patient answers stay on our own servers?
Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
