Mumble Melody vs Stutter Stars: Stuttering Help Usage & Stats
Welcome to the Mumble Melody App, and thank you for your interest in stuttering research and modulated auditory feedback!
We are researchers from MIT exploring the use of new auditory feedback modalities to help increase fluency for People Who Stutter (PWS). This app is a work in progress based on our research that aims to gather user feedback and better understand what aspects of the experience are most important for PWS.
You can use the app by yourself for speech training or during discussion. Feel free to explore the different modes and presets to find the least distracting and more efficient for you. If you believe you start habituating to one mode after a few hours/days, try switching to a different mode.
To use the app, you need wired headphones/earbuds with an embedded microphone. Do not attempt to connect it on Bluetooth or speaker as it may create a feedback effect.
Note that this approach does not intend to cure or fix stuttering. Stuttering is a very complex condition, still not completely understood by the research community, and it comes with influential social and identity-forging elements. Our goal through distributing this app is to gather feedback from potential users to help improve the science and research on stuttering. Please be aware that the research is ongoing, and Musically Modulated Auditory Feedback might not work for all users.
If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact us at mumblemelody@mit.edu.

THE GAME
This unique speech therapy app is a full-length game that will help support speech communication, fluency, naturalness, and mindfulness.
Stay Motivated - Helper characters in the game listen to your speech, provide immediate feedback, and use scaffolding to teach new concepts. Scaffolding is used by speech and language pathologists to help people learn incrementally. This increases motivation and helps build consistency.
Use Your Own Voice - Our speech recognition engine has been trained to respond to many types of responses, speaking styles, and input. Fluent speech, communication style, and naturalness of speech are really what the helpers are listening for.
See Your Results - When you speak during the gameplay, your speech production is displayed in easy-to-read graphs. We visualize your gameplay and show how many words were successfully produced and ones that are challenging.
Automatic Reporting - For teachers, parents, SLPs, or you, we automatically generate reports which you can see in the game or send to yourself in a beautiful pdf or doc file. This gives a snapshot of your performance and shows all the words you spoke correctly or which ones needed some extra help.
Story Mode & Practice Mode - Story Mode takes you on a journey through the world, while Practice Mode allows you to practice any technique on command. Your voice, your choice.
The Science - In each part of the game, press the pause button and you will see the ‘Science’ button. A small video will appear to explain the reason behind your practice. Not to mention all the tips and facts that are always on display.
