Treat Stuttering With Upcoming iPhone App

Hollins Communications Research Institute is developing a iPhone which will help in reducing stuttering. When out in app store it is projected to help many in overcome stuttering with ease.





Few details about the app from HCRI:

The iPhone device was programmed at HCRI with a sophisticated voice monitoring system that evaluates and scores speech behaviors taught during stuttering therapy. When clients use the device during training in outside situations, such as in a shopping mall, restaurant or business setting, fluency measurements for each utterance are displayed on the iPhone screen. Having this data immediately available to stuttering therapy program participants makes speech practice more effective and helps improve the speed with which fluency results are achieved.

In addition, the iPhone records every speech sample in an onboard file for later transmission to HCRI. This information enables the institute’s therapists to provide more detailed and precise training to clients, as they learn to apply new speech capabilities in everyday situations.

We will update you once the app hits the app store.
