Summary
This study tests a smartphone app called Zenicom that provides personalized speech therapy exercises for people who have trouble speaking after a stroke (aphasia). Twenty adults with recent stroke and aphasia will either receive standard speech therapy alone or standard therapy plus the app for two weeks. Researchers will measure changes in language ability to see if the app adds benefit.
