Abstract
We present a practical guide to estimating reasonable parameter values for the Klatt synthesizer, focusing on practical success, rather than theoretical finesse. We employ a combination of techniques, including automatic analysis of acoustic properties from a speech database, using commonly available speech analysis tools, as well as ‘tricks of the trade’ learned through the trials of bitter experience.
