Remote control of vocal tract models by voice commands via online conference system

Abstract

We demonstrated a vocal tract model to remote areas as a measure to cope with an epidemic of COVID-19 and as a measure to spread acoustic education. In this study, we investigated the implementation, evaluation and improvement of a system to recognize voice commands sent from a remote location via an online conference system and to operate a vocal tract model with a robot arm based on the recognized commands, which was proposed by Arai (ICA, 2022).
