Hi,
I have been trying to build a text to speech synthesis system (English) using HTS and festival. I want to generate a speech waveform from text, rather than label files as done in HTS-demo. I used festival to generate utts using the code :
(let ((utt1 (SynthText "Ah, indeed")))
(utt.save utt1 "asdf.utt")
)
and used the part of script in HTS-demo/data/Makefile to create labels from festival generated utterances.
But when i try to synthesize it, it gives the following error :
***********************************************
ERROR [+9935] Generator: Cannot find duration model x^x-pau+hh=ax@x_x/A:0_0_0/B:x-x-x@x-x&x-x#x-x$x-x!x-x;x-x|x/C:0+0+2/D:0_0/E:x+x@x+x&x+x#x+x/F:content_2/G:0_0/H:x=x^1=1|0/I:2=1/J:2+1-1 in current list
************************************************
I have verified that the HMGenS command options file list exist at corresponding paths
(Please note there are considerable differences in festival generated utterances and the traiining utterances present in data/utts/)
I am successfully able to synthesize speech for .utt file given in data/utts, which suggests an error i the utt generation part.
I tried various suggested solutions but nothing seems to rectify the error. some of them being, setting a different default phone set, downloaded and built hts voice for festival.
Could someone please guide me as to what settings must be used in festival to generate .utt files that can be used to synthesize the speech waveform for any text.
Regards
