Hello

I would like to integrate a phoneme duration in my HMM definition

But I didn’t found many details in the htk book, even I found this note in page 93 of htk3.3 book :

“In addition to the above, any model or state can have an associated vector of duration parameters {d}(No current HTK tool can estimate or use these.)”

Does it mean that parameter duration is not available in HTK3.3 or what???? 

Can you help me, and thank in advance

Here is an old email post I found in the HTK archives:

[HTK-Users] can htk incorporate duration information into hmm?
