Chimera is a voice synthesizer in the browser that uses no samples and no neural audio. Every sound comes from a simulated airway (lungs, vocal folds, a branched vocal tract, lips and nose), animated live on a cutaway of the head. Drag the tongue and lips, type text for it to speak, sing lyrics on a piano roll, beatbox, or play a songbird, a seal, an alligator or an elephant. Male, female and child voices blend. The engine is Rust compiled to WebAssembly. Free and open source, MIT.

    Most voice synths stitch recorded sounds together. Chimera simulates the air moving through a throat instead, so you can watch why each vowel sounds the way it does, and it's very fun to play with. Jameson Hodge's first clip of it passed 4.9 million views on X, and his song Just You, with vocals by Chimera, shows it can do more than robot noises.
