Fluency Journal is for stutterers or individuals with fluency problem. It is a comprehensive tool that measures and keeps track of the severity of dysfluency by recording and calculating a matrix of fluency parameters such as frequency of stuttering. It functions as a dysfluency measuring device that allows users to screen and quantify stuttering behavior and define individuals who are in need for speech therapy. It also functions to record dysfluent behavior during speech production.
Fluency Journal allows speech therapists, educational professionals, and parents to record and rate stuttering behaviors and dysfluent moments. With Fluency Journal, users can establish an individual profile for each speaker for logging stuttering behavior. Percentage of stuttering moments can be calculated instantly and automatically. Reports of fluency characteristics, combined with sound tracks of speaker’s production can be exported to others (e.g., speech therapist) via email for further analyses.
Features of Fluency Journal include:
➢An intuitive, user-friendly layout
➢Capability of conducting online rating of stuttering behavior
➢Capability of carrying out online recording of speech signals
➢Capability of exporting (via email) of reports and sound tracks
The majority of practicing speech therapists and educational professionals recommend Fluency Journal as an essential screening tool for children and adults with speech fluency problems and stuttering behavior.
Fluency Journal is a universal application that is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Fluency Journal can be used with or without WIFI, 3G and 4G connections.
