[hts-users:04311] Re: HTS questions files for Arabic

[Xingyu Na <asr.naxingyu@xxxxxxxxx>]

Designing HTS question file requires introducing linguistic and

Besides, some parts of the question set can be generated by statistics, 
such as the numbers and position.
So I don't know of any tool that can do it all in once.
