open_jtalk(1) General Commands Manual open_jtalk(1)

NAME

open_jtalk — Japanese TTS system

SYNOPSIS

open_jtalk [options] [infile]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the open_jtalk 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.
open_jtalk is a program that synthesize speech waveform from Japanese texts. It uses HMMs trained by the HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS).

A summary of options is included below.

-a f
all-pass constant [0.42][0.0--1.0]
-g i
gamma = -1 / i (if i=0 then gamma=0) [0][0--]
-b f
postfiltering coefficient [0.0][-0.8--8.0]

infile
text file
option '-d' may be repeated to use multiple delta parameters. 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.txt:
 
% open_jtalk -s 48000 -p 240 -a 0.55 \ 
-td tree-dur.inf    -tm tree-mgc.inf    -tf tree-lf0.inf \ 
-tl tree-lpf.inf    -md dur.pdf         -mm mgc.pdf \ 
-mf lf0.pdf         -ml lpf.pdf         -dm mgc.win1 \ 
-dm mgc.win2        -dm mgc.win3        -df lf0.win1 \ 
-df lf0.win2        -df lf0.win3        -dl lpf.win1 \ 
-em tree-gv-mgc.inf -ef tree-gv-lf0.inf -cm gv-mgc.pdf \
