In this approach, spectrum, excitation, and duration of speech are simultaneously modeled by context-dependent HMMs, and speech waveforms are generated from the HMMs themselves. Since December 2002, we have publicly released an opensource software toolkit named "HMM-based speech synthesis system (HTS)" to provide a research and development toolkit for statistical parametric speech synthesis. This paper describes recent developments of HTS in detail, as well as future release plans.Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association, 2009 Annual Summit and Conference, International Organizing CommitteeConference Paperapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/39652https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/39652/1/MP-SS1-2.pdfProceedings : APSIPA ASC 2009 : Asia-Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association, 2009 Annual Summit and Conference1211302009-10-04engpublisher
