App overview and background
Stutter Stars is a speech-therapy application from SAY IT Labs (previously released under the name Fluency Friends). It leverages modern speech-processing tools to give users targeted guidance for reducing stuttering and improving spoken communication.
Underlying technology
The app combines artificial intelligence with robust speech-recognition engines to analyze users’ spoken input and deliver feedback instantly. This allows users to see where breakdowns occur and practice tailored exercises based on that analysis.
Intended users
Designed for both children and adults, Stutter Stars adapts activities to different ages and skill levels so that learners at many stages can work on their fluency goals.
Therapeutic approach
Built on evidence-based principles from speech therapy, the program uses small, scaffolded lessons that introduce new strategies gradually. Playful helper characters guide practice sessions, and clear visual displays present speech metrics so users can track progress over time.
