Speaking a little loudly can help. If you stand away and ask the other person to speak- people tend to speak loudly and fluency is better. Similarly, when you whisper, you dont stutter. There are many such fluency enhancers. These are not "cures"; In fact there is no cure. These ideas help by convincing the person that fluency is inside him/ her, not outside. That s/he can be fluent to an extent if s/he tries. But the bottom line must be emphasized that it is okay to stammer.

I think that we speak fluently in this way just bcoz we are not speaking in our normal way . Like if we try to copy some actors style of speech , we will speak fluently. But when we get use to that kindaa speech , we start stammering again.
Just like the speech easy device, people speak fluently using that device for 1-2 months, but after they become use to that speech, the stammering comes back again.
Part of my job entails giving a lot of presentations to high school presentations. I am also in Toastmasters, and give speeches regularly.
I find when I project my voice, I do indeed stutter less. But in normal conversation, I have my usual repetitions and occasional blocks.
I don't consider this to be a fluency enhancer, rather just a nice side-effect of having to constantly do group presentations.
Sometimes when I am giving a presentation, even in my projected voice, I still stutter. But I try to not it let me bother as much anymore.
