[hts-users:03595] Re: Phoneme duration issues in HTS build voice


Hi,

Could you reduce the number of parameters in duration model?
For example, $mdlf{'dur'} in scripts/Config.pm can be changed as follows.

%mdlf = ('mgc' => '1.0',            # tree size control param. for MDL
         'lf0' => '1.0',
         'dur' => '4.0');

Regards,
Keiichiro Oura
