I sometimes have blocks trying to say Alexa lol though you can change the command to other things like “computer” I’m guessing it could could be the same for google?...

Not sure if this will help, but I use "Hey Google" with mine. I find it easier than OK Google because I can basically connect the two words much easier than having a hard stop after "OK."...

I tried using the speech to text feature on my phone not too long ago on the translate app and it picked up every stutter I did. I was practicing French to see if it could understand it and it would c...

This is the first thing I had thought of when I got my first pair of Samsung Buds a few months ago. I remember reading studies about audio-delay earpieces (Edit: It was called SpeechEasy) and their gl...

Oh right on! Yea there really isn’t that much available the auditory feedback devices and some breathing techniques. I don’t think the MBS ever got past research and it was legit like a giant black he...

I understand all what is being said. I was approved by Veterans Affairs to get the Speech Easy device. The deal was is they paid for the device, and I would pay for the monthly insurance fee or what e...

>None of the therapy I got was more than **repeating words slowly** That sounds like really shitty therapy. Maybe it's not even done by a qualified therapist at all. What were their credentials? ...

Oh, yes. I had one of those ear pieces when I was in high school. I think it was called Speech Easy or something like that. It worked but it was really hard to hear people when I had it on so it wasn’...

It seems to work for me. I’ve got a DAF app on my phone, but I haven’t really tried it in the real world. I just tested it out on my wife though and I couldn’t stutter. I’m also going to use this in i...

A good trick that helps me in interviews is that I just tell them at the beginning that I have a stutter (not apologetically but in a matter of fact way). I mean, they will notice it eventually in the...

I totally agree regarding propranolol, took it just once before. I have never used DAF before, so let’s see. But people are giving a very good feedback as per my research....

Had a tough time too while having job interviews. Finally got a job but I want to start looking for a new one. Propranolol would definitely work to reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety but not th...

I just tried that and it helped. Not sure if it would when having a conversation with anyone, but I noticed a difference. Thanks for that....

There was a method that i think it helped me in the past but i couldn't follow it. I was supposed to read from a book aloud but not fast, just syllable by syllable and with something near my mouth (10...

Something that might help that I haven’t seen anywhere else!

Something that might help that I haven’t seen anywhere else! Hello PWSs. I currently have a career where I have to talk a lot in front of other people and on a radio. Sometimes it can be bad but I thi...

I highly recommend finding some children's books your son might be interested in and buying a physical and recorded copy. Try to encourage him to read aloud with the recording in private. My stutter...

I think this can definitely help us hear our own voice, and know that's it's there, so to say. :) But bear in mind that many stutterers experience a stark contrast between talking on their own and ta...

Anyone use sign language?

Anyone use sign language? I'm considering taking up ASL to use when my stutter is especially bad or when I'm blocking for too long. The only downside to this that I can think of is that not everyone k...

In college, I decided that I was going to be open about my impairment when I realized I certainly hadn't been able to hide it. Before every class, I took a moment to introduce myself to the instruct...

Absolutely. In the beginning it was terrible, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten much better at using. I recently moved though to a bigger store and I’m back at square 1 again. I’m way too scared t...
