Towards ICT based Solution for Stuttering

Abstract

Stuttering is speech disorder that has affected a large group of people in the world population. ICT based solutions for stuttering treatments are not well known. Information about the existing ICT based solutions, their effectiveness, and the user satisfaction of the currently available solutions are not studied thoroughly. Therefore, present day researchers have fell into greater trouble in delivering the best possible solution to the masses. This paper provides the results of a cross sectional survey conducted towards identifying the differentiation of age groups, duration of existence of stuttering, use and experience of existing solutions, and the effectiveness of their performance. This paper will be an initial step towards engineering an ICT based solution to assist stuttering treatments.
