How to build voices

Hi All,
 
I am new to festival, festvox and EST engines.
I have gone through the documents and got to know that festvox means " I want my computer to talk in my voice".
 
I want to build my voice with the help of fetvox and EST tools and then want to integrate the same in festival.
But I do not have exact idea how to do build my voice and how to integrate in festival.
Please guide me to resolve it.
 
Thanks in advance...

Re: How to build voices

Hi Nagesh,
 
Thank you very much for your help.
 
You have mentioned list of carrier words. I think you are refering to US diphone list.
Which is present in file 'us_schema.scm' (approximately 1400).
 
After running this bin/prompt_them etc/usdiph.list step I am getting recording prompt for 2 seconds.
Which shows diphone list to record as below:
 
1 us_0001
 
   pau t aa g aa g aa pau (g-aa aa-g)
 
Start recording for 2 seconds .....
.... end recording
 
I am not able to get which sequence to record within 2 seconds from the above.
 
Regards,
Harendra

How lexical pruning works in flite


Hi Sir,
I want to know mechanism that how lexicon is compressed in flite.
I found that festival contains around 100000 enties but flite contains around 37,000 entries.
"make_cmulex" script makes the lexicon size small and finally gives "cmu_lex_data_raw.c" auto generated file. 

It is written(http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/flite/doc/flite_8.html#SEC20) that in flite lexical pruning has been used.I am not able to get how lexical pruning mechanism is been implemented in flite.

Plesae help me to understand the same.

Thanks in advance.

make_allows

Hi,

 

How do I run make_allows? What files are required? I see that the script assumes some .out-files, e.g. alllets.out, alets.out and allphones.out. Should I create these files before I run the script?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

/Stefan

build_lts does this automatically:

if [ "$1" = "make_allowables" ]
then
   # Automatic build of allowables 
   if [ -f allowables.scm ]
   then
      cp -p allowables.scm allowables.scm-old
   fi

   $FESTIVAL -b "(require 'lts_build)" '(dump-lets-phones
"lts_scratch/lex_entri

   $FESTVOXDIR/src/lts/make_allows >allowables.scm

   exit 0
fi

if you want to do it by hand, you could just follow the main script.
