[hts-users:01776] Re: lab files in gen directory

["QiXiong Tu" <tuqixiong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
To my knowledge, using Festival script could extract info such as POS, phonemes, prosody from raw text. And then you'll just need a little lisp program to convert these to the context-dependent label format used in HTS. However, I don't know whether it's suitable for Portuguese, you may need to do some pretreatment.

I am not so familiar with Festival. As far as I know, you can use Festival to generate the .utt files and then use HTS's scripts to extract .lab from them. You must ensure the language dependent parts of Festival are repaced by your Portuguese ones.

Thanks Simon King and Xingchi Xian,

I have some files *.scm about the duration, intonation, phrasing, lexicons, phrase, phones, etc. for Festival.
Are they the Front End ?

How can I generate the lab files of the gen directory from these *.scm files ?
I have read the Festival manual, but I not found any command to do that.

Thanks a lot.

You need to build a front-end for Portuguese

First, try one of the Festival mailing lists to see if someone has one that they are willing to share with you,
