Why Speech Therapy?
Like an iceberg, the outward manifestations of stuttering are nothing compared to the fear, guilt and shame it provokes in it's victims. But all this is unnecessary. There is a way out, and we can help you - the Stamurai, find it!
If you are like many of the 80 million stutterers in the world, adequate clinical treatment will not be available to you. Whatever you do you'll have to be pretty much on your own with what ideas and resources you can use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Would I be able to cure my stuttering?
Cure is the wrong word. The aim of modern speech therapy is to develop correct speech. It is a subtle difference but important nonetheless.
Is there an iOS app as well?
It is next on our To Do list and should be out soon.
After gaining spontaneous fluency, are there chances of relapse?
Fluency, as an acquired skill, can't be taken for granted by the stutterer. Many occasions of speech would be faced with challenges. So even after you have attained spontaneous fluency, a review of 20 minutes each day of the techniques will keep you fluent.
How much time will it take for it to work?
It depends vastly on the severity of stuttering and on how much you practice. Broadly it can take about 6 months to attain spontaneous fluency. You should definitely start seeing improvements wthin 1 month.
I don't stutter alone. So how do I practice?
Most stutterers don't stutter alone. We are soon launching audio calls so you can practice with others in the app. For now you can use voluntary stuttering.
What is the clinical name for the therapy I would be undergoing?
The therapy is an integration of 'Stuttering Modification' and 'Fluency Shaping', the two most popular therapy techniques.
