There are free/cheap apps for delayed auditory feedback (search for DAF on App Store / Google Play). Speaking while listening to a metronome can also result in less stuttering. I have also experiment...

E.g. DAF devices work on stutterers, but then again, it's not exactly the same thing. Maybe there's something really general in common still, with regards to production and interference. Dunno....
