This is the official Idlak readme. Note that this is supposed to be a mirror of a relatively recent kaldi repository, with various tools and examples added. Idlak is a project to build an end-to-end parametric TTS system within Kaldi, to be distributed with the same licence. It contains a robust front-end, voice building tools, speech analysis utilities, and DNN tools suitable for parametric synthesis. It also contains an example of using Idlak as an end-to-end TTS system, in egs/tts_dnn_arctic/s1 Note that the kaldi structure has been maintained and the tool building procedure is identical. Read Kaldi.md and INSTALL.md first! The documentation should be build separately, cf. src/doc/README. Normally this documentation is generated by running "doxygen" from the src/ directory, and appears in src/html/ I assume that the reader would like to (1) build the toolkit and (2) run the example system builds. To build the toolkit: see ./INSTALL. These instructions are valid for UNIX systems including various flavors of Linux; Darwin; and Cygwin (has not been tested on more "exotic" varieties of UNIX). For Windows installation instructions (excluding Cygwin), see windows/INSTALL. To run the example system builds, see egs/README.txt If you are reading this, you probably want to build the "Tangle" demo, which is located egs/tts_dnn_arctic/s1. If you encounter problems (and you probably will), please do not hesitate to contact the developers at https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=kaldi-developers In addition to specific questions, please let us know if there are specific aspects of the project that you feel could be improved, that you find confusing, etc., and which missing features you most wish it had.
