This study is looking into whether a special speech treatment can help people with Parkinson's disease speak more clearly and participate more in social activities. The treatment uses a web-based app on your phone where you record sentences. This app gives you feedback, even with background noise, to help improve your speech. You would either start this treatment right away or at a later time. We're looking for people aged 50-80 with a Parkinson's diagnosis, stable medication, and mild to moderate speech difficulties (dysarthria). The main goal is to see if this treatment improves how well others understand your speech.
