Could you build this?

Partial The plugin shell and UI can be vibe-coded, but a convincing articulatory synthesizer needs real vocal-tract modeling and DSP knowledge, which an AI assistant cannot supply by itself.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a physically based articulatory model (vocal-tract geometry, glottal source, and tongue/lip control) implemented in real-time DSP, likely in C++ or Rust with audio-plugin APIs. Tuning it to sound natural requires phonetics and speech-synthesis expertise, plus integration with the Hermes Desktop plugin interface.
