Why We Created Eloquent

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, anxious, or held back by stuttering, you’re not alone. For millions of people around the world, fluent speech doesn’t come easy. The effort it takes to say a simple sentence in front of a group - or even just in daily conversation - can be exhausting. Traditional speech therapy helps, but it can be expensive, hard to access, and time-consuming. That’s exactly why we created Eloquent - a self-guided speech therapy app built to empower people who stutter, from the comfort of their own home.

But here’s the best part: Eloquent isn’t just another app promising improvement. It is backed by research. In a recent pilot validation study, users saw measurable improvements in their speech scores after using Eloquent for just 15 days.

A Smarter Way to Build Speech Confidence

Eloquent is designed by speech-language pathologists and fluency experts to provide structured, evidence-based speech therapy techniques digitally through an app. Instead of needing to travel to in-person appointments or schedule weekly sessions, users can access Eloquent’s therapy modules anytime, anywhere. The speech coaching program on Eloquent consists of fluency shaping techniques, stuttering modification tools, confidence-building exercises and real-world challenges.

Pilot Validation Study

To understand the effectiveness of Eloquent, we conducted a pilot validation study involving participants who stutter. Here’s how it worked:

• Participants completed a pre-therapy assessment measuring their stuttering severity and communication confidence.

• They were given access to the Eloquent app for 15 days.

• After completing 15 sessions, they took a post-therapy assessment to measure changes in fluency and confidence.

• Assessments were conducted using two widely recognized tools: Stuttering Severity Instrument-4 (SSI-4) which measures frequency, duration, and physical signs of stuttering and the Erickson S24, which measures confidence and attitude toward speaking situations.

So, what happened?

Real Results: Significant Improvements in Just Two Weeks

Here’s what we found among participants who completed the study:

🗣️ 52.7% Reduction in Stuttering Severity

The average participant saw their overall SSI-4 score drop by more than half - an incredible improvement in fluency.

✅ Reading fluency improved by 45%

✅ Spontaneous speaking fluency improved by 46%

✅ Stuttering duration was reduced by 57%

✅ Physical symptoms (like facial tension or head movement) decreased by 63%

These results are more than just numbers. They reflect smoother speech in real-world situations.

💪 33.5% Improvement in Communication Confidence

Using the S24 scale, participants reported a substantial reduction in negative speaking attitudes and avoidance behaviors. In plain terms? People felt more confident, less anxious, and more willing to speak in everyday interactions.

🏆  Life-Changing Progress

More than 75% of participants moved down at least one stuttering severity category, such as from “Severe” to “Mild” or from “Moderate” to “Very Mild.” These aren’t just minor changes - they’re meaningful shifts that reflect real, day-to-day improvements in speech fluency.
