Fluent: An AI Augmented Writing Tool for People who Stutter - Technology Org

Stuttering is a disorder that negatively affects personal and professional life. One of the factors which may impact the likelihood of stuttering is phonological patterns. Some words are more prone to cause stuttering than others, and people who stutter (PWS) can identify which words they might struggle with and then think of a way to manage. Recent advancements in AI, such as phonetic embeddings, can help to simplify these processes. Therefore, a recent paper presents a novel machine-in-the-loop writing tool for assisting PWS with writing scripts, which minimize the number of stuttering events.
