This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new approach to speech therapy for people who have difficulty speaking after a stroke. Instead of speaking along with a therapist's voice (the traditional method), you would practice speaking along to your own voice—created using artificial intelligence voice cloning. The goal is to see if hearing your own voice helps you speak better than the traditional approach.
After a stroke, many people struggle with speaking and language production. Speech therapists currently use a technique called speech entrainment, where patients practice speaking along with their therapist's voice. This trial is testing whether using your own personalized voice might be even more effective, and whether doing this therapy at home on a smartphone could make treatment more accessible and convenient.

The study will send you a smartphone with the therapy app already installed at no cost to you. You'll complete speech therapy exercises at home by speaking along to either your own voice or a therapist's voice, depending on which group you're in. Some exercises will use audio only (voice alone), while others will include video so you can see a speaker's face. The researchers will track your progress over time to see which approach—your own voice or a therapist's voice—helps you speak better.
