Abstract: This paper shows how an HMM-based speech synthesizer in Basque language has been built using HTS and AhoTTS (the TTS system developed at Aholab). The resulting system, which is being used only for research purposes at present, has a highly satisfactory performance.

Index Terms: statistical parametric speech synthesis, hidden Markov models, Basque language.
