NAME

hts_engine — HMM-based speech synthesis engine

SYNOPSIS

hts_engine [options] [infile]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the hts_engine command.

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.

hts_engine is a program that synthesize speech waveform from HMMs trained by the HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS).

OPTIONS

A summary of options is included below.

-m htsvoice

HTS voice files

-od s

filename of output label with duration

-om s

filename of output spectrum

-of s

filename of output Log F0

-ol s

filename of output low-pass filter

-or s

filename of output raw audio (generated speech)

-ow s

filename of output wav audio (generated speech)

-ot s

filename of output trace information

-vp

use phoneme alignment for duration

-i i f1 .. fi

enable interpolation & specify number(i),coefficient(f)

-s i

sampling frequency [auto][ 1-- ]

-p i

frame period (point) [auto][ 1-- ]

-a f

all-pass constant [auto][0.0--1.0]

-b f

postfiltering coefficient [0.0][0.0--1.0]

-r f

speech speed rate [1.0][0.0-- ]

-fm f

add half-tone [0.0][ -- ]

-u f

voiced/unvoiced threshold[0.5][0.0--1.0]

-jm f

weight of GV for spectrum [1.0][0.0-- ]

-jf f

weight of GV for Log F0 [1.0][0.0-- ]

-z i

audio buffer size (if i==0, turn off) [ 0][0-- ]

infile

label file

generated spectrum, log F0, and low-pass filter coefficient sequences are saved in natural endian, binary (float) format.

EXAMPLE

If you installed hts-voice-nitech-jp-atr503-m001 in the current directory, the following command let you make a voice file from input.lab:

% hts_engine -s 48000 -p 240 -a 0.55 \ 
-m nitech_jp_atr503_m001.htsvoice \ 
-ow output.wav \ 
input.lab
