One-click vocal tract mapping interface and its applications to signal conversion
Kohichi Ogata, Kentaro Yamashita (Kumamoto Univ.) SP2012-81
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper describes the development of a vocal tract mapping interface to produce vowel sounds. The interface is a kind of a vocal tract generator that provides an easy and effective setting of the vocal tract shape with a simple mouse click on its interface window. The features and advantages of the interface are shown through examples of the generated vocal tract shapes, transfer functions and continuous vowel sounds. An exploratory application of the interface is also described to show the advantage that an incoming signal can be easily converted into vowel sounds through the vocal tract shape. Paired comparison experiments showed that synthesized vowel sounds based on finger motions during a finger-nose test are useful to judge the severity of movement disorders of patients.
