Speakmore: A mobile app towards better stuttering awareness to improve speech therapy

Abstract

Generalization of treatment is a challenging task for speech therapists and adult who stutter (AWS), and it can contribute a barrier to long-term treatment success. Given that AWS often are aware of their speech problems at different speaking situations, self-evaluation of their own speech performance in real-life communication situations could be used to control their stuttering. This project aims to develop a mobile application for smartphones, 6SHDN0RUH , directed to AWS and speech therapist usage. This software will allow the AWS to register their stuttering related situations, selfevaluate their anxiety level and fluency level. It could help to promote daily self-monitoring of speech as a means of controlling stuttering. This system also allows speech therapists to monitor, receive report, and score their client’s speech performance. This collected data could use to improve the therapeutic process using their client’s personalized reallife communication situations.
