Do I belong here?

Do I belong here? I got a concussion a while ago and I have developed a very mild stutter. It doesn't impair my regular function, but I often find myself stuttering and stumbling over my words, which ...

people who stutter can basically "feel" when they are going to stutter. In my case, I get to the word and I cannot say the first letter of the word, so I stay quiet, pretend lie I'm thinking and tell...

I start using Siri and such when I feel I can get most of the sentence out in one shot. But Siri often gets my sentence right even if I stutter anyway....

Sometimes my blockage makes the voice command shut off because I took too long to speak...

i don’t stutter when i’m by myself. and for me, talking to siri and such means i’m usually by myself. the only time those types of things really bother me are those voicemail-to-text translations. tho...

I stutter more with voice recognition since I think about it more! I primarily use it for music in the car since I like to listen to albums rather than playlists and it gets irritating to have to say ...

I was actually joking about this earlier with my friend at work. He was using Siri, and I said , well wouldn't that be convenient?! I've tried to use Alexa at a few of my friend's houses a lot. They ...

LOL I would rather spend a full five minutes typing out a search on my TV/Firestick than try to say my search term with anybody else around. Sometimes I'll try to use Alexa/Siri anyway (let's be hones...

For me I always block when talking to Siri or Alexa. I can never get the full sentence out....

Google Assistant has usually been good for me. It seems to give you a little more time and gets past simple blocks most of the time. Unfortunately, now I have an iPhone and Siri is bad both at under...

Oh God I hate it. We need some kind of stutter detecting mode or something. What I do is like mumble some things like bananas bananas bananas and then directly when I'm in a talk spree say okay Google...

I have so few commands that I use regularly so I practiced them over and over until I got the muscle memory down. Now why doesn't that work with saying my name??? But, I can say "Alexa, lights on" lik...

I have a mild stutter, so I can't know how you feel exactly, but my stutter massively ramps up if I'm forced to say certain keywords, so I do know what you are feeling to some extent....

Yes very much so, and I mean it, seriously, Valium WILL make you more fluent no doubt. Just dont take it more than 2-3 times a week. I suggest 5 or 10mg. Doubt you will feel any improvement less than ...

Had a bad date a few days ago, and it's still on my mind

Had a bad date a few days ago, and it's still on my mind I was stuttering like crazy, blocking at nearly every sentence. It was the worst it has ever been, I could barely be myself. She texted me aft...
