Hi HTS-users,
I was wondering if anyone knew anything about how the 'alice' test labels in the demo were created. Searching through the list archives it appears that Festival was used, however I have noticed on a few occasions that with some different voices trained on different types of data, .wav files synthesized from the 'alice' labels just tend to sound better than synthesis from our own test labels we've created. We are using Festival 'text2utt' to get utts out of a txt.done.data-formatted file, and then using the steps in the data/Makefile to convert from utt->lab. Were the 'alice' labels perhaps created in some different way, or using some different settings in Festival?
Thanks,
Erica
