[hts-users:03822] Re: Synthesis by syllables

[Marvin Coto <mcotoj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm about to start a research project on HMM speech synthesis for Spanish. 

Will start with the example scripts of HTS and hopefully will try with the synthesis by syllables. I will start with the research of the syllabic characteristics of Spanish, which I think have to be less complex than English.

You can synthesis by syllable if the target language has a finite (and
small) syllable set. In English, syllables can be constructed from
phonemes freely, so it maybe quite hard to synthesis by syllables.
While in Chinese, the syllable set is limited, so it is possible to
synthesis by syllable, and it is quite easy to construct such a
system.
