[hts-users:02348] Re: Questions about brazilian demo

[Carlos Souza <carlosfss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your reply, Ranniery,

I'm happy to know that Brazilian demo is not a "dead one" as other guy
told. I'm trying to train HTS with another voice, but i'm having some
problems to create monophone label files.
Now i'm trying to create this with EHMM Labeller, but i still have no
sucess. Is there another way to create it? or using another tool, like
Sphinx?

What's the better way to create this?

Thanks about your attention,
Regards,
