<strong>Stammering</strong> <strong>Research</strong>. Vol. 1.<br />

The Pocket DAF/FAF Assistant<br />

interface is simple and intuitive.<br />

There are two gauge controls that are<br />

responsible for setting Delay and<br />

Frequency Shift. The Delay has the<br />

range of 50 ms to 250 ms. The<br />

Frequency Shift has the range of -10<br />

to +10 which corresponds to +/- onehalf<br />

octave. These intervals are<br />

widely used in DAF/FAF speech<br />

therapy.<br />

The DAF/FAF Assistant<br />

automatically saves configured<br />

Delay and Frequency Shift settings<br />

when you close the program and<br />

restores these settings back when<br />

you start the application.<br />

The Start and Stop buttons turn the<br />

sound playback on and off.<br />

The Register button allows you to<br />

enter your registration name and key.<br />

When the software is registered this<br />

button is hidden.<br />
