Stutter Helper gives you four proven fluency techniques in one simple app — no account, no internet, no data collection. Just open it and practice. METRONOME — PACED SPEECH Set a steady beat between 40 and 80 BPM and speak one syllable per beat. Paced speech is one of the most widely recommended techniques for reducing stuttering. Visual and haptic feedback keep you in rhythm without needing to look at the screen. VOWEL PRACTICE — GENTLE VOICE ONSET Tap any of six vowel sounds (Ah, Ee, Oo, Oh, Uh, Ay) to hear it prolonged at an adjustable speed. Then try common practice phrases with a soft, easy start. Gentle voice onset helps you begin words without blocking. RECORD & LISTEN — SLOW-PLAYBACK REVIEW Record a sentence, then play it back at 25–100% speed. Hearing yourself in slow motion reveals patterns you can't catch in real time. Compare, adjust, and repeat until you feel confident. BREATHING GUIDE — CALM BEFORE YOU SPEAK Follow a guided 4-second inhale / 6-second exhale cycle with a smooth visual animation. Deep diaphragmatic breathing relaxes your vocal cords and reduces speech anxiety — perfect before phone calls, meetings, or presentations. WHY STUTTER HELPER? - 100% offline — works anywhere, no Wi-Fi needed - 100% private — no accounts, no analytics, no data leaves your device - No ads, no subscriptions - Clean, focused design — one tool per tab, zero clutter - Microphone used only when you tap Record — never in the background Stutter Helper is a self-practice companion, not a replacement for professional speech therapy. If you stutter, working with a speech-language pathologist alongside daily practice delivers the best results. Download Stutter Helper and start practising today.
