A novel use of choral speech significantly reduces stuttering in a simulated presentation setting: An exploratory study Choral speech, defined as speaking in unison with another voice, has long been recognised for improving speech fluency while maintaining speech natura…

New paper out in the Journal of Fluency Disorders! Results show that speaking in unison with a text-to-speech decoder voice delivered through headphones can significantly reduce stuttering during simulated presentations.
