Crowdfunding for Futaba Minato-Voisona/Cevio AI Talk

[YOYo_MAMA]

I'm just making a separate thread for this one to post updates for it. It was announced that the company behind Futaba Minato will start a crowdfunding for her Cevio AI/Voisona Talk. There are some goals and i think one says that there will be a, pocket version? I'm not sure



Here's a sample of Futaba Minato's voice.

Minato2’s crowdfunding is at 147% which means she reached the first 2 stream chart goals!

we also saw her shy and crying emotion in voisona.

Minato also will behaving a booth at Endof Voice.2023 where I believe you would be able to try her voisona talk vb out.

Official demos for Futaba! There are two videos released, one for Cevio and the other for Voisona. There's also a 6th emotion called "Child", and it's Minato voice acting all cute and childlike. Really interesting addition.

Ohhh, the Cevio AI version sounds completely on par with the VoiSona talk version!! Could this mean the improved Vocoder from VoiSona 2.0 might FINALLY be coming to Cevio AI??? The Cevio AI talk samples definitely sound way smoother than other current Talk banks

They actually released a demo for Futaba 2.0!! Both song and talk. The producer mentioned that it is still underdevelopment so it's not released. I really like the little demon (Oni?) Futaba with bangs. It reminds me of the earlier days of vocaloid where they just make funny characters based on existing ones. Like Tako Luka.

Futaba 2.0 is now officially out!

Here's a few samples I found on twitter. It uses either Voisona or Cevio. Is there any difference between the two? The results tend to vary.
