Welcome!

The HMM/DNN-based Speech Synthesis System (HTS) has been developed by the HTS working group and others (see Who we are and Acknowledgments). The training part of HTS has been implemented as a modified version of HTK and released as a form of patch code to HTK. The patch code is released under a free software license. However, it should be noted that once you apply the patch to HTK, you must obey the license of HTK. Related publications about the techniques and algorithms used in HTS can be found here.

HTS version 2.3 includes VBLR speaker adaptation, DAEM-based parameter generation algorithm, and other minor new features. Many bugs in HTS version 2.2 were also fixed. HTS does not include any text analyzers but the Festival Speech Synthesis System (English, Spanish, etc.), DFKI MARI Text-to-Speech System (German, English, etc.), Flite+hts_engine (English), Open JTalk (Japanese), or other text analyzers can be used with HTS. HTS slides are also released as a tutorial of HMM-based speech synthesis.

This distribution includes demo scripts for training speaker-dependent and speaker-adaptive systems using CMU ARCTIC database (English). For training other voices, demo scripts using NITech database (Portuguese, Japanese, and Japanese song) are also released.

In addition, HTS version 2.3.1 demo scripts support frame-by-frame modeling option using DNN (deep neural network) based on HMM state alignment.
