Speechagain X Harrison Craig Announce PartnershipNew Speech Training Tool Launched – Can Help Millions Suffering From Stuttering Disorder. Platinum Selling Performer HARRISON CRAIG as the Face of Multinational Campaign.
According to The Stuttering Foundation, more than 70 million people worldwide (over 3.8 million in the US) stutter. Speechagain Inc. has introduced a patented and evidence-based online stuttering training program called Speechagain.
The online training tool is based on a patented technology using artificial intelligence, speech recognition patterns, and clinically proven techniques for voice control. The software, which has been the brainchild of doctors and speech-language pathologists with more than 25 years of experience, is positioned in the highest levels of scientific standards in speech therapy. The launch campaign (which is both on social media and US TV channels such as, e.g., CNN, CNBC, Discovery, FNC, and NBC) features global recording artist from Australia, Harrison Craig. Craig, who previously won The Voice and has battled with a stuttering condition for most of his life, has also recently published a children’s book on this topic and continues to work to inspire people of all backgrounds to be able to overcome their own challenges.
‘I’ve always wanted to have the smooth sound of speech – almost every person suffering from a stuttering condition wants a way to be able to progress their therapy and live a normal life – with Speechagain you really have a way of empowering yourself on this journey with a practical and flexible tool to be able to help overcome your stuttering challenges and live your dream”. Harrison Craig (Platinum Selling Artist, Performer, Children’s Book Author).
“Until now, speech disorders have been treated by attending frequent visits to a speech-language pathologist. Now, people who stutter have unlimited access to training sessions that fit within their personal schedules anytime, anywhere. This allows for training at home due to restrictions, such as the current Covid-19 crisis.” said Dr. Alexander Wolff von Gudenberg, Founder of Speechagain.
Speechagain is HIPAA compliant, user friendly, and has features that include:
Learning Path: A proven progression of content and exercises to help achieve fluency while speaking.
Voice Curve: The tool analyzes your voice as it moves through the exercises and provides a real-time visualization, as well as feedback.
Situations: Real-life scenarios help bridge the gap between training and everyday life.
Also included is a personalized dashboard that helps users keep track of trainings, statistics, and progress.

Speechagain Secures New Funding
Speechagain, a digital-based stuttering tool, announces the close of the Series A round of funding from private investors. An international investor group from the United States, Germany, and Switzerland has now joined the Speechagain community.
The investments will be used to continue the development of the Speechagain product, as well as expand the company. Speechagain is updating and implementing new features to their program, as well as continuing to expand their use of artificial intelligence and voice recognition in relation to speech training. Speechagain is securing the opportunity of combining speech therapy with technology, an extension of the speech-language-hearing field that is currently under-developed.
“As the rest of the world and medical field move towards technology–based tools and solutions, the speech-language-hearing world is at a standstill. We plan to merge the speech world with the technology work, providing modern and evidence-based scientific feedback to clients while working along with speech-language pathologists” – Mallory Stempfley, Speechagain Speech-Language Pathologist.
Speechagain’s mission is to create a new wave of therapy tools, specifically for people who stutter, which is motivating, personalized, and effective.
“We are so excited to be moving forward with a program that not only empowers individuals but also provides them with the tools they need for more fluent speech. Speechagain provides a supportive atmosphere for clients and SLPs to work together and meet in the middle for the most effective speech training possible” shared Johanna Joch, Speechagain’s General Manager.

Breaking Tradition: The New Speech TherapyYou’re probably wondering to yourself…why should I try Speechagain? How is it different from therapy I’ve tried in the past? Well, I’m here to tell you. As you know, stuttering is a unique type of communication disorder. It cannot be “cured”, but there are multiple therapy approaches that all claim to be effective. We have worked diligently to create our own modern fluency shaping method, while also implementing a behavioral/emotional piece and an educational portion to our platform. Speechagain is challenging traditional therapy and this is how we did it:
- We have it all.
As mentioned previously, we have designed our own modern fluency shaping method. This entails helping you break old habits and creating new habitual ways of fluent speech. Training will encompass many factors, such as taking pauses between words and syllables, your rate of speech, and a technique called “easy onset”. Easy onset is the speech method of “easing” into a word, to reduce tension and enhance fluency. All these components of speech therapy are included in our voice curve! Using artificial intelligence (and our own knowledge of course) Speechagain will educate you on the speaking method and then assist you in practicing the skills, all while providing real-time feedback.
- We’re here for you.
We understand how stuttering can impact your personal life. I like to use the analogy of the iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is what you can see above the water, which would be the stutter itself. But…as we know from the infamous Titanic…icebergs are much larger underwater, where it’s hidden from the naked eye. The underwater portion of the stuttering iceberg are the symptoms that cannot be seen, such as avoiding certain words, dreading introducing yourself to others, feeling anxious, removing yourself from social situations, etc. etc. etc. The list could go on and on, but you get the point. Speechagain also gets the point. That’s why our therapy not only addresses the stutter itself, but also the bottom of the iceberg. We do this by implementing our Situation Board. This is a personalized board that allows you to compile your challenging situations. While practicing your speech technique, we will help you simultaneously tackle those obstacles and gain confidence!
- We can explain.
Knowledge is power. Not only does Speechagain target your speech skills and secondary symptoms, but we also provide you with the educational tools you need to finally understand your stutter. Chances are someone has explained stuttering to you before, but did you really understand? Or was it just overwhelming? Throughout our program, you will be taken through exercises that help you visualize and truly understand what goes on when you stutter.
At the end of the day, you can relax and know that Speechagain has put in the work to provide you with the most reliable and effective stuttering therapy program. We’re breaking tradition because it was about time!
