SPEECH CONSOLE

FLUENTPLAY

Configure how FluentPlay measures speech fluency

SLP Trial — speech recognition included

The Speech Console is FluentPlay's core scoring engine. It uses the PAD framework to measure what's happening beneath the surface of your speech — not just what you said, but how much it cost you.

Safety

How secure was your start?

Pressure

How much urgency to get through?

Difficulty

How hard was the sound itself?

Ground

Your rolling stability over time

How to use: Pick a preset below (Balanced is a great start), scroll down to enter a phrase, then tap Begin and speak naturally. The console scores each syllable and shows your PAD breakdown in real time.

You can expand each PAD category below to fine-tune the sensitivity if you want — but the presets work well out of the box.

D = P × A • Ground (G) = rolling stability

Safety (P)

initiation security

▶

Vocal intensity consistency

Stable volume = confident initiation

Phonation duration

Sustained voicing = stable motor output

Pre-voice latency

Delay before voicing may signal anticipatory tension

Sound prolongation

Stretched sounds = holding rather than releasing

Utterance position

First syllable = highest anticipatory load

Known difficult sound

Challenge sounds the speaker identified as threatening

Prior syllable outcome

Difficult previous syllable erodes confidence

Session trend

Cumulative performance erodes or builds safety

Pressure (A)

force and urgency

▶

Vocal force

Higher volume = more effortful production

Utterance position

Pressure builds through the word

Prior syllable outcome

Poor result increases urgency on next attempt

Pace demand

Faster speed = more temporal pressure

Difficulty (D = P × A)

observable disruption

▶

Voice onset attempts

Multiple initiations = false starts, restarts

Phonation duration

Too short = can't sustain. Too long = can't release

Pre-voice latency

Long delay = motor plan stalling

Articulatory block

Effortful silence — airflow but no voicing

Sound repetition

Repeated onsets in short window = syllable cycling

Phoneme accuracy

Sound distortion under motor stress

Sound substitution

Different phonemes than intended

Sound omission

Expected phonemes missing

Sound insertion

Extra phonemes detected

Known difficult sound

Challenge phonemes carry motor planning complexity

Pace demand

Faster pace narrows execution window

Ground (G)

computed from P, A, D outcomes

Ground sensitivity

How fast Ground drops after struggle vs how slowly it rebuilds. Higher = more reactive.
