"Stuttering is like an iceberg, with only a small part above the waterline and a much bigger part below." (Sheehan, Joseph G.)
If we begin to label the parts of the stuttering iceberg, the part that sticks up above the waterline is the audible stuttering itself. The rest of the iceberg, the 90 percent below the waterline, is invisible. And that is where the emotional baggage lies. With all those emotions of fear, embarrassment, guilt, sadness, anxiety and depression, stuttering is really not what is heard but what it feels.

One of the most stressful real life situation for people who stutter is Her Highness – Telephony. Stress and fear while making phone calls cause them a great deal of anguish and anxiety. All these negative emotions induce phone call avoidance and can lead to more serious health problems such as social anxiety and depression.

StutterHelp PTT is a startup project that wants to change the world of people who stutter (PWS). The project aims to develop a mobile application that helps people who stutter into making phone calls. With its innovative technical solution PWS will be able to make all phone calls they need without fear, stress and nervousness. They will have the ability to order pizza whenever they want. To make a dinner reservation. To call a doctor when they need it.
No more phone call avoidance. No more asking for someone to make a call instead of them. StutterHelp PTT mobile app will empower people who stutter to live more freely.
