Speech therapy device with an app... train yourself to stop stammering? Hi guys, just seen this new product in development that (as far as I can tell) monitors your breathing and speech rate & gives your real-time feedback via a device on your chest to help you stammer less. [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/benetalk-the-world-s-first-wearable-speech-tracker/x/22590644#/](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/benetalk-the-world-s-first-wearable-speech-tracker/x/22590644#/) Anyone ever tried anything like this, or interested in trying it? Through traditional speech therapy over the years I consider myself to be able to speak with a high level of fluency, however my stammar still flares up in formal business meetings and/or interviews, so definitely interested to see if a prompt to remind myself to breathe slow will be effective enough to make a material difference..
