Anti-Stuttering Software
This is a software which employs two techniques, the Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF), which delays your voice to your ears, and Frequency Altered Feedback (FAF), which shifts the pitch of your voice. The company claims that their tecnology can reduce stuttering and also train one to no longer be dependant. This software can be downloaded into your personal Computer and you will need a headphone or a microphone. The price range is from $30 to $40. Or you can purchase a portable device with a range between $70 and $90. Here is a screenshot:
I do not know much about this yet, so I remain sceptical. It is certainly a heck of a lot cheaper than the SpeechEasy device, but a lot bulkier and showy, like an IPod. Of course the website claims that it will be successful, and presents graphs like this,
but I will need to to obtain reviews from more people. The best thing I like about it though, is that it trains you to be able to not use the device. Hopefully that is true.

Hi,
I am currently - or better: sometimes - using DAF on my PocketPC and it doesn't help me a lot, but you definetely see an increase in my fluency. So it is better than nothing. Some sources I have tested are the following ones:

http://speechgym.speechgym-labs.qarchive.org/
http://www.speechcorrector.com/index.htm.

Good luck,
Ferramis
BTW I haven't found the device on their webpage you are speaking about:
"Or you can purchase a portable device with a range between $70 and $90." Or do you mean the software for PocketPCs?
