A Flash implementation of a 1D Digital Waveguide Mesh speech synthesizer
I just had a free day to toy around with something and I found the ability of Flash 9 that it can generate sound interactively and on the fly is somewhat curious. So, here is a Flash 9 application to synthesize some vowels. You would like to change the mesh size decreased to 20 or so, to vocalize a vowel real-time on your browser. The synthesized vowel may be replayed with a button on the right panel.
The vocal tract data is taken from the Dr. Damian Murphy's web site, where a Ph. D. thesis for this technology is available.
I used the popforge, which includes the real-time sound synthesizing library for ActionScript 3.0.
Enjoy.
