The vocal tract is treated as an acoustic transmission line with variable crosssectional area. The system allows on-line specification of the history of articulatory states (vocal-tract shapes) and excitation parameters, and generates the resultant acoustic signal for immediate evaluation by the experimenter. Novel features include graphical as well as numeric al control of articulatory configurations, time-motion display of articulatory data and resonant-frequency versus time displays for the resulting acoustic signal . The facility is used for the study of the dynamics of articulatory movement and for speech synthesis .","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/40","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/0040.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/40.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/bibtex/40","volume":{"slug":"1969","title":"Proceedings of the First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1969","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1969/","year":1969,"location":"Washington, DC, USA","dates":"May 7-9, 1969","editors":"Donald E.
