HInit and HRest need label boundaries, though you could do a flat start using HERest right away.

However data sparsity could make some of your models not as robust as they are when HInit/HRest is used. 

If you have enough data, you can try.

Hello,

I don't think so because how can you extract the part, corresponding to the phoneme, in the signal without it ?

Hello,

What is an influence of HInit in HTS-demo_CMU-ARCTIC-SLT/scripts/Training.pl  (**) script on the final quality
of models, and as a result, on the quality of the generated speech?

(**) I mean this piece of code in Training.pl
#######################################
# HInit & HRest (initialization & reestimation)
if ($IN_RE) {
...
}
########################################

In other words, can I use row data described by corresponding labels without start/end times of phonemes, but rather using  just
phonetic transcriptions of data?

------instead of this-------       --just this-
start_time end_time ah   --->  ah


Thank You and Best Regards,
