I have an app called big note, you can type and maximise the font to fill the whole screen. It’s so convenient and it makes people’s life easier. But same my stutter became worse than ever to the point i genuinely believed that i am becoming non verbal and decided to go fully mute. i stopped using this method except in critical cases, like being pulled up by the police. And now i am getting my confidence back, stuttering in front of strangers feels bad and it’s painful to some extent. But giving up to stuttering treating yourself like you can’t speak at all feels 100x worse and disappointing.
