CHIMERA

CHIMERA is a voice synthesizer that generates sound by simulating the physics of human speech production—lungs, vocal folds, vocal tract, lips, and nose—rather than playing back samples. The engine runs in Rust compiled to WebAssembly for real-time audio in the browser, with the same code available as a native CLI tool.

Users can play with an interactive 3D head cutaway, speak English text or IPA phonetics, sing with a piano roll, create beatbox patterns, or explore animal vocalizations. The interface animates airway pressure, airflow, vocal fold vibration, and spectral data in real time. Male, female, and child voice characteristics blend continuously.
