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
