[hts-users:04427] Re: HTS demo 'alice' labels


Thanks, Heiga!  so the Festival HTS voice was just using the default US English frontend from Festival, or do you know of any changes that were made?

I think I generated these labels about 10 years ago...

IIRC, they were directly generated from festival HTS voice.  At that time, festival HTS voices dumped labels to a tmp file then ran hts engine to synthesize speech.  I think I copied these tmp label files.

I am not sure whether it still runs in this way.  It may be fully integrated and no tmp file is created.

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
