Did you know that when people who stutter speak the same material in unison with another speaker, they become more fluent and speak more clearly? This is called the choral effect. In 2016, the Orange Effect Foundation funded a device to assist a teen who has a severe stutter. This device, called a SpeechEasy, mimics the choral effect by allowing the wearer to hear her own voice with a pitch shift and a slight time delay.
