Summary
This study tested whether a smartphone app with speech exercises could help stroke survivors who have slurred speech (dysarthria). 44 people used the app for 30-60 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Researchers measured how understandable their speech was and how the condition affected their daily life.
