Need Expert Feedback for a Cool New Tool! Hi Everyone, I am a grad student who stuttered quite a bit during my childhood and still struggle with some words. I always wanted to contribute something in this area. Now, as a Computer Science student, I am trying to leverage AI to build an intelligent text editor for people who stutter. This editor namely 'Fluent' highlights words that a user might struggle to pronounce and then recommends alternative words that convey similar meaning but are easier to say. As a CS student, I have limited domain knowledge. So, I call upon SLPs and other experts to please take a look at my tool and let me know your thoughts/comments/criticism. We can do a small video chat where I give a demonstration of the tool and then collect your feedback towards the end. I am sure you will find it interesting! Please let me know in the comments if you can spare some time during this weekend and I will get back to you. Your feedback can really help shape this tool and also encourage more people from CS to contribute in this domain. Thanks!
