[hts-users:00556] Re: Using HTS with festival


Hi,

Thanks  a lot for responding.

festival works fine as long as the default voice is anything other
than the 6 voices I have downloaded from hts.nitech website.

The following works:

festival> (voice_kal_diphone)
kal_diphone
festival> (intro)

The following does not work:

festival> (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts)
nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts
festival> (intro)
param -r not of type float
SIOD ERROR:
BACKTRACE:
  0: (HTS_Synthesize utt)
  1: (let-internal
   (method_val)
   ((Parameter.get (quote Synth_Method)))
   ...)
  2: (let-internal
   (type)
   ((utt.type utt))
   ...)
  3: ((car hooks) obj)
  4: (apply_hooks tts_hooks (quote #<Utterance 0xb73cfc68>))
  5: (set!
   utt_tts
   (apply_hooks tts_hooks (quote #<Utterance 0xb73cfc68>)))
  6: (intro)

In all the usages the stack trace points to HTS_Synthesize utt.

Thanks,

Manoj.

Do you get the same error message when you use festival rather than text2wave?
For example,

% bin/festival
Festival Speech Synthesis System 1.95:beta July 2004
Copyright (C) University of Edinburgh, 1996-2004. All rights reserved.
For details type `(festival_warranty)'
festival> (voice_nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts)
nitech_us_slt_arctic_hts
festival> (intro)

if your festival works correctly, festival starts introducing itself in female voice.
