When upgrading to a new version of Phonexia Voice Inspector, carefully follow these guidelines to maintain data integrity and ensure seamless system operation. Always perform a full backup before initiating the upgrade process, as specific upgrade procedures may vary depending on the version you currently use.

From Version 5.0.0 or Newer​

  1. Backup the existing workspace folder from your current installation.
  2. Install the latest version of Voice Inspector into a new directory by following the installation manual.
  3. Copy the Workspace folder from your previous VIN 5.0.0 installation into the newly installed VIN 5.2.0 directory.

From Versions Older than 5.0.0​

Due to significant technological changes, voiceprints from versions older than 5.0.0 are not compatible with newer VIN versions. Follow these steps:

  1. Backup the existing workspace folder from your current installation.
  2. Install the latest release of Voice Inspector into a new directory by following the installation manual.
  3. Recreate your Population Sets in the new Voice Inspector installation by using audio recordings of the speakers included in your previous population sets.
  4. Create all cases from scratch, using recordings of suspected speakers and questioned recordings.
