Abstract
Vocal sounds and human vocalization mechanisms have interested many researchers for a long time, and computerized voice production and recognition have become essential technologies in recent developments of flexible human-machine interface studies. In research on sound production, various methods have been reported. The main speech synthesis method is concatenates synthesis and formant synthesis. However, the voice is produced by the waveform generation level and does not sound natural. In the present study, we will develop a mechanical system using vocal organs similar to the human organs in order to be able to generate a human-sounding voice. As the first step, we examined the difference between the actual sound and calculation model of vowel.
