Designed by SLPs to provide a state-of-the-art solution for syllable counting and real-time index calculation.
Choose the counter that fits your evaluation needs, from quick live tracking to detailed disfluency categorization.
The perfect entry point for live counting. Simply tap F for fluent or D for disfluent syllables.
Go deeper by categorizing disfluencies into specific types: Blocks, Repetitions, and Prolongations.
The ultimate tracking tool. Separates repetitions into Sound, Syllable, and Word Monosyllabic types.
Join app designer Barbara Fernandes, MS, CCC-SLP, for a quick overview of how to maximize your fluency evaluations.
💡 Pro Tip: "It's probably easier to be tracking this on a smaller device" like an iPhone.
Counting while you play? Smarty Ears Online has a simple disfluency counter next to every activity: press F for each fluent syllable and D for each disfluent one, then save the counts and the percentage disfluent with the session. For full evaluations, this app’s Advanced and Pro counters break disfluencies down by type.
