Abstract
This paper presents the work that has been done to develop a web application that shows the face of a virtual character pronouncing the sentences the user sets. The level of realism was high and the performance was fast enough. The application makes use of WebGL, speech processing, text to speech and co-articulation technologies to obtain the virtual pronunciation.

Speech-Input Speech-Output Communication for Dysarthric Speakers Using HMM-Based Speech Recognition and Adaptive Synthesis System
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that causes inability to control and coordinate one or more articulators. This makes it difficult for a dysarthric speaker to utter certain speech sound units, thereby producing poorly articulated, slurred, and ...
Articulatory Speech Re-synthesis: Profiting from Natural Acoustic Speech Data
Cross-Modal Analysis of Speech, Gestures, Gaze and Facial ExpressionsThe quality of static phones (e.g. vowels, fricatives, nasals, laterals) generated by articulatory speech synthesizers has reached a high level in the last years. Our goal is to expand this high quality to dynamic speech, i.e. whole syllables, words, ...
