[hts-users:01537] Re: How to create a new Syllable based Database - for an Indian Language

[Alexis Moinet <alexis.moinet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only other reference I can think of is "CMU ARCTIC databases for 
speech synthesis" by John Kominek and Alan W Black

(available on festvox site : 
http://festvox.org/cmu_arctic/cmu_arctic_report.pdf)

it explains the construction of the arctic database (i.e. the DB used in 
HTS demo)
