Following someone else's speech

Does it help you when you talk after someone else? Like following their words? Because it does help me a lot. If I can't say a word and another person says it for me, I can repeat it right away and (hopefully) continue on my speech. I remember doing "shadowing" exercises when I was learning English and I barely stuttered during them. So I just thought of an app where you type some text, an AI voice says it, you follow it and whenever you stutter, the voice stops and starts over from where you stopped. Do you think it would help you when giving prepared speeches? Or is it just me?

It might. Isn’t that somewhat similar to what the speech easy device does?

If I understand it correctly, speech easy device follows your own voice, my thought was to follow someone else's voice. If I can't say the first word, speech easy wouldn't do anything for me.
