Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We have proposed a speech production method in which the voice synthesis was controlled by a position and a motion of a pen or a finger put on a pointing device in real-time for speech disorders, and have developed it. Nonverbal information like rhythms and intervals of voices can be freely controlled by using this method. Our previous study with a prototyping model which we developed showed that voices that sound like consonants were produced by controlling two formant frequencies by a movement of a pen or a finger. In this paper, we described about an experiment with a improved production method for consonants, and discussed about problems.
