[hts-users:00560] Re: Using HTS with festival


Thanks a lot for the response Nickolay. I was using versions
1.96.beta2 of festival that I had downloaded from a link given on
festvox.org.

I downloaded 1.96 from some link available on sourceforge.net and the
problem went away.

What would be the right repository/link to download the stable release
of festival?

Thanks,

Manoj.

Actually it's a bug in hts voices caused by incompatibility introduced
between 1.95 and 1.96. To fix the issue you should remove quotes around
parameters in

nitech_us_awb_arctic_hts.scm


it was somehting like

and should became

festival hts voices already have this issue fixed while nitech voice is
outdated a bit
