DAF Pro uses delayed auditory feedback (DAF) to help people who stutter and people with Parkinson's disease slow down and speak more fluently. You speak, and hear your own voice through headphones a fraction of a second later. DAF Pro is not a medical device.
Built by a UK speech and language therapist (MSc, PGDip, BA Hons, HCPC registered, RCSLT member), and used by thousands of people in more than 100 countries.
What is delayed auditory feedback?
Delayed auditory feedback is a clinically recognized speech therapy technique. Hearing your voice on a short delay naturally slows your speaking rate, which can make speech smoother and clearer. Research suggests DAF helps around 1 in 3 people who stutter, and it is also used to help people with Parkinson's disease control their speaking rate.
