Examples of articulatory Copy synthesis

This page shows a few examples of copy synthesized
French utterances. The aim of copy synthesis is to simulate speech from films of
the vocal tract. The geometry of the vocal tract is defined via an
articulatory model derived from MRI films. The acoustic propagation is simulated using
an extension of the single-matrix formulation by Mokhtari et al. [1]
enabling a self-oscillating model of the vocal folds to be connected
and the simulation of bilateral consonants in the context of
time-domain continuous speech synthesis.
