I modified the· testtract application that allows you to fidget with the vocal tract's parameters.· Now it works with Propterminal, so you can use it without a dedicated keyboard or mouse.· IF you have propterminal, download this to make it work through your computer's display and keyboard.·
Also, as an added bonus, I setup some presets for the basic English vowel sounds from the computalk documentation.· To access them just hit the function keys f1-f8.· Now you have a quick way to jump right to the correct·vowel frequencies.· Someday I'd like to implement the constanants as well and a buffer so you could type (for instance) "Taek" and have it say "take".· Everything is in the Vocal tract to make it possible, just have to work out all the sounds·transitions·and timing.·
Anyway, I hopw someone finds this useful.
