For years, articulatory synthesis research has been largely overshadowed by formant-based and acoustic-based speech synthesis techniques. While successful in some domains (e.g., voice-based databases), these techniques still cannot produce natural looking and sounding speech from text from an arbitrary speaker. Natural looking and sounding speech technology is one of the next major milestones in voice-based interaction for natural user interfaces. Articulatory speech synthesis has progressed steadily at the fringes of both industrial and academic interest and is now poised to provide the necessary platform to overcome basic problems in speech production and, we believe, represents the next major advance in speech synthesis technology.

多年来，基于实剂和基于声学的语音合成技术在很大程度上掩盖了关节综合研究。尽管在某些领域（例如，基于语音的数据库）成功，但这些技术仍然无法从任意扬声器中产生自然的外观和声音。天然外观和声音的语音技术是自然用户界面基于语音的交互的下一个主要里程碑之一。发音性语音综合在工业和学术兴趣的边缘稳步发展，现在有望提供必要的平台来克服言语生产的基本问题，我们认为，这代表了语音合成技术的下一个重大进步。
