Summary

This study tests whether an AI-based app called HiDongDong can improve speech in children aged 2 to 14 who have trouble pronouncing words. Forty-eight children will either use the app at home for 20 minutes a day, five days a week, or receive standard speech therapy. The goal is to see if the app helps them speak more clearly.
