I haven't heard about Vital Stim used to improve speech, usually the claim
is that it will improve swallowing.

Subject: Vital stim
I have had a couple of patients tell me recently that their SLPs have told
them that they would like to do vital stim and that it will very likely help
them to speak better. I'd like to find a credible source of information on
the topic. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nell
