Articulatory synthesis models speech dynamics but is too complex for practical synthesizers

Evidence

The principal advantage of articulatory synthesis is that the dynamics of the speech production systems are included in a natural way. There are, however, practical problems associated with getting data on vocal tract parameters from real speakers and with getting the complex, non-linear behaviour of the glottal oscillation and its coupling to the vocal tract acoustics. Articulatory modelling and synthesis remains an important research topic for understanding the underlying phenomena, but it may not be the most practical way to realize practical speech synthesizers. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 623
