A history and overview of some attempts to create human speech by modeling how speech is produced, including the contributions of the speech articulators (tongue, jaw, lips, etc.), facial information, and gesture. One particular tool will be featured: the Haskins articulatory synthesizer, an early system designed to help explore aspects of embodiment: i.e. how our physiology shapes, in part, our cognitive capacities.
