ASY: Sample Vowels

The Haskins Laboratories articulatory synthesis program, ASY, can be used to synthesize static vowel sounds. The vowel space shown above illustrates some of the vowels that can be created using ASY. Below, you can explore the steps in the synthesis process, or listen to these sounds.

i (“ee”): Synthesis steps

u (“uu”): Synthesis steps

ɛ (“eh”): Synthesis steps

æ (“ae”): Synthesis steps

ʌ (“uh”): Synthesis steps

a (“ah”): Synthesis steps
