This sounds like a great opportunity for an undergrad student. Most undergrads CS/EE at top universities, etc. would have been able to write this as a freshman in high school. As an undergrad myself, I've been employed at an acoustics lab writing scripts in matlab, C, PHP, etc. to do this sort of thing. Cheap labor, exellent results. They'd love to work for references and beer money and can develop custom idiot-proof software. Just post a flyer or post to the CS newsgroup.
