Description
It is portable self practice and self reflection device. It recovers:
- Stammering
- Fast rate of speech
- Second language disfluency
- Soft voice (low loudness)
- Speech clarity
- Voice problem
It immediately reduces stammering about 95% at normal speaking rates. The device trains 90% carryover fluency (after removing the device), after practicing 15-20 days.
SpeakFluent Features:
- Delay Auditory Feedback (DAF) (100msec to 1200msec)
- Speaking Rate algorithm
- Noise + speech stimulation
- White Noise stimulation
- Tone stimulation
- LCD screen display
How use it?The device that enables a user to speak into a microphone and then hear his or her voice in headphones. Person need to do practice with this device for 0- 45 minute per day as per given instructions. After 10-15 days, Person will be cured 90% problem. Remaining 10% would be cured by doing more practice.If person do more practice per days. He/she will be cure early. Device usability is explained in user manual. It is not permanent device like hearing aid. It is portable practicing device. Whenever person feel problem, he can use it.
How is it useful?- Only 1-2 Introduction sessions with device professionalist whereas normal therapy take 20-25 sessions.
- Person can do self practice any time in life like before presentation, interview etc. whereas therapy is done for one time duration.
- If stuttering occurs again, person can improve by using this device.
- Help to build confidence, speaking upfront.
- No age group bar
How it will improve stammering/fast rate of speech/language disfluency/soft voice etc?Speakfluent improve the auditory processing loop with the help of delay. Auditory processing area is divided into sub areas: Broca's area, Wernicke's area, Motor cortex.
Working principle :-
Whether you hear someone else speak a word or you read the word yourself, it goes into Wernicke’s area that recognizes this word and correctly interprets it according to the context.
Pronounce this word yourself, this information must be transmitted to a destination in Broca’s area, which plans the pronunciation process. Lastly, this information is routed to the motor cortex, which controls the muscles that you use to pronounce the word.
Any words need time to complete following loop ( listen word-Wernicke's area-Broca's area-Motor cortex-speak). Speakfluent helps to improve this auditory processing loop of brain. Reading with SPEAKFLUENT reduced the overactivity in motor areas that is found with stuttered reading, and largely reversed the left-hemisphere based auditory-system and speech production system underactivation
