I tried one of those “speech devices” Wednesday. It was strange. I went to the University of Washington a few days ago and they ran some tests on me and my speech patterns. I had to wear headphones and read aloud a few short passages ( although from my point of view and most stutterers point of view a short passage is 5-7 sentences. These things were 20-30 each.). Anyways, I read aloud six passages and four of them I was able to hear myself talking, but it was slightly delayed. It sounded like me, but at the same time I sounded slightly different. When I read aloud just by myself I stuttered on almost every word. When reading with “myself” I only stuttered a few times. It was a weird experience but I had to share because I thought it was really cool. Has anyone else used these devices and if so what was your experience like?
