 > The HMM-based Speech Synthesis System (HTS) has been being developed by the HTS working group and others (see "Who we are" and "Acknowledgments" in "README" file).  The basic core system of HTS was implemented as a modified version of [[HTK:http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/]], together with [[SPTK:http://kt-lab.ics.nitech.ac.jp/~tokuda/SPTK/]], and is released as HMM-Based Speech Synthesis System (HTS) in a form of patch code to [[HTK:http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/]].  The patch code is released under a modified BSD-style license.  However, it should be noted that once you apply the patch to the [[HTK:http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/]] source code, you must obey the [[license of HTK:http://htk.eng.cam.ac.uk/docs/license.shtml]].

 > HTS version 2.0 supports speaker adaptation and adaptive training based on MLLR.  This version has not included any text analyzer yet, but you can use the [[Festival Speech Synthesis System:http://www.festvox.org/festival/]] as a text analyzer. This distribution includes demo scripts using [[CMU ARCTIC database:http://www.festvox.org/cmu_arctic/]] (English).
 Six HTS voices for Festival 1.95 trained using [[CMU ARCTIC database:http://www.festvox.org/cmu_arctic/]] are released with HTS version 2.0. They are based on our small synthesis engine called hts_engine. Each of HTS voices can be used as a "voice" of Festival Speech Synthesis System without any other HTS tools.
 
 > For training Japanese voices, a demo script using the Nitech database for speech synthesis "Nitech JP ATR503 m001" is also prepared. Japanese voices trained by the demo script can be used on [[GalateaTalk:http://hil.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~galatea/]], which is a speech synthesis module of an open-source toolkit for anthropomorphic spoken dialogue agents developed in [[Galatea project:http://hil.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~galatea/]], without any other HTS tools. An HTS voice for [[GalateaTalk:http://hil.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~galatea/]] trained by the demo script is also released with HTS version 2.0.
