Articulators

Articulators are devices used by speech therapists and linguists to simulate how the human mouth moves during speech. They replicate the positioning and movement of parts like the jaw, lips, and tongue, helping to study, diagnose, or teach proper speech production. By modeling these movements, articulators assist in understanding how sounds are formed and how speech can be improved or corrected. They come in both physical forms, such as mechanical or electronic models, and virtual software for analysis, serving as valuable tools in speech therapy, linguistics, and education.
