[mary-users] Mary me

[Ingmar Steiner]

Dear Klemens,

Assuming your PHONEMES input is valid (i.e., doesn't contain any unknown 
allophones), there should be no problem in running the synthesis. (If 
you do this on a local, multi-processor machine, you should be able to 
synthesize in parallel, saving some time.)

 From your message, I'm not sure what your question is; have you tried 
and failed? If so, which step seems to be the problem?

Best wishes,

-Ingmar

P.S. Note that things will be somewhat more complicated if you plan to 
support secondary stress; see for instance this thread:
