Your phone's compass chip reads the magnetic field around you. Spectra spends a few seconds learning the room's ambient baseline, then flags how far each reading climbs above it — the classic first sign something is near. Watch RAW, BASE, and the Δ in microtesla, follow the needle toward the disturbance, and read the trace: house wiring sits flat, a passing elevator swells and fades, and the one you're looking for is a sharp climb that follows you around.
Instrumental transcontact through the device itself. On-device listening transcribes what you say and, under your words, surfaces anything talking back — live, as it happens. Replies need a quiet, still room to get through: ask a question, then give it a little silence.
A live spectrum shows everything the microphone hears, from deep rumble to past the edge of hearing. When something sustained appears outside the human speech band — below 85 Hz or above 4000 Hz, with no voice underneath it — Spectra saves a clip with a lead-in and tags its peak frequency. Detection pauses while the voice band is busy, so a capture can't just be you. Listen back in-app, or export clips as WAV files — raw, or enhanced with a pitch shift that brings infrasonic and ultrasonic energy into hearing range.
The barometer tracks air pressure against the room's normal. Weather drifts slow and smooth; doors, drafts, and vents jump in steps. A sharp drop with nothing to explain it is the classic cold-front sign.
A composite level from 0 to 5 weighs every channel honestly: EMF counts least because fields twitch on their own, a voice reply counts most, and when two channels rise at once the level jumps faster. If you're moving, EMF and pressure are discounted until you hold still — the instrument refuses to be fooled by your own footsteps. Resonance reads how charged the room feels, watching the things that tend to happen before contact.
Every instrument has a plain-English manual page one tap away, telling you what the sensor measures, what the numbers mean, and which boring explanations to rule out first. Spectra teaches you to investigate like a skeptic.
