  We present an articulatory synthesis framework for the synthesis and
manipulation of oral cancer speech for clinical decision making and alleviation
of patient stress. Objective and subjective evaluations demonstrate that the
framework has acceptable naturalness and is worth further investigation. A
subsequent subjective vowel and consonant identification experiment showed that
the articulatory synthesis system can manipulate the articulatory trajectories
so that the synthesised speech reproduces problems present in the ground truth
oral cancer speech.
