[hts-users:00554] Using HTS with festival

["Manoj Bist" <manoj.bist1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have been struggling with this since yesterday. I would really
appreciate if you could give me pointers to help me resolve this.
Please do let me know if this is not the right  mailing list for this
question.

I am trying to use HTS voices that I downloaded from the following
link with festival1.96.

http://hts.sp.nitech.ac.jp/?cmd=read&page=Download&word=HTS%20for%20HTK%20download#z142d16f

I have installed all the 6 voices under festival/lib/voices/us.

When I try to convert any text to wav file it gives the following
error. I am new to TTS and trying to use the tool as a blackbox.

param -r not of type float
SIOD ERROR:
BACKTRACE:

   (method_val)
   ((Parameter.get (quote Synth_Method)))
   ...)
  2: (let-internal
   (type)
   ((utt.type utt))

  5: (set!

  6: (f (car l2))
  7: (cons (f (car l2)) r)
  8: (set! r (cons (f (car l2)) r))
  9: (while l2 (set! r (cons (f (car l2)) r)) (set! l2 (cdr l2)))
 10: (mapcar
   (lambda
    (f)
    (...))
   text_files)
 11: (main)
 12: (load "bin/text2wave")

Thanks a lot for reading this,

Manoj.
