Manual Cued Speech

We work on a Talking Virtual Agent (MALM for Multimodal Agent for Language Mediation) that has the ability to speak i.e. produce sound from movements of visible (lips, jaw) and non visible (velum, tongue) articulation. This Agent has also a hand by which he can encode Manual Cued Speech created by Orin Cornett in 1967.
