[hts-users:00308] Re: HTS and STRAIGHT

[Ossama Abdel-Hamid <ossama_a@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We have made experiments with the HTS system. And made an Arabic system 
using it. I was wondering if the code for  STRAIGHT analysis/synthesis 
available with HTS or downloadable as a stand alone. If so, can you 
please tell me how to get it?
We are doing some other modifications on the speech analysis/synthesis 
and the used parameters set.

Best Regards,
Ossama
