Abstract
People who stutter often lack self-esteem and self-efficacy caused by self-stigma. Current speech fluency devices mainly focus on the efficiency of increasing fluency, but seldom address the psychological factors that people experienced in everyday life. In this paper, we present a work-in-progress on designing non-obtrusive tactile rhythmic feedback devices that are wearable, readily-available, yet unnoticeable by others. We review the background, related work, and reflect on the early experiences of an experiential prototype with both persons who stutter or not. Based on the results, we enlighten the future design of socially-acceptable speech fluency devices.
