Other Voisona Talk soon to be released!!

[YOYo_MAMA]

So this just appeared on the official twitter page.

Warning: translated using google translate, native speakers or anyone who knows Japanese more is very much welcomed.

Voisona is going to make a talk version of it's software. From the tweet, there will be a free voice with the software, like the talk-counterpart to Chis-a.

It’s 100% her

On the one hand I'd be very happy for TechnoSpeech-chan to have a voice, on the other I'd be mildly frustrated it's not Chis-A for the matching set That would be too convenient I suppose

The silhouette is so funny, like babe we can see her clip board. we knoww

 

[YOYo_MAMA]

Does she have a different name, or an actual name? She is the mascot for Technospeech and the word itself is a huge mouthful. It's like saying Microsoft-chan or Google-chan, or Vocaverse-chan.

 

[Twillby]

I did a quick search just now and as far as I can tell, she doesn't have a name at all. At least not yet. (I somehow never noticed it was Cherico who did the art even though it says it right at the end of Techno-Speech's Twitter bio?? rofl)

Techno-speech have trademarked the name Tanaka. Maybe that’s her name now?

I feel like 'Tanaka' is weirdly generic, but that's just me

Well, we do also have such amazing voicebanks on other synth engines like 'Kevin', so...
though, do we want vbs with designs and really generic names, or with barely less generic names, but no designs... made ya think.

Yup, her name really is Tanaka. Officially it's Tanaka Kasa (google translated). And we finally got to see her full dress. I like it, in a classy "personal assistant/secretary/flight attendant" kind of way.

The hiragana and the romaji say Tanaka San, so it’s probably the same thing as “Sakurano Sora” and “Koharu Rokka”

New visuals!! Tanaka umbrella version

 

[Mika]

Omg, the umbrella version gives me HUGE Aoki Lapis vibes!! I love it

I think Tanaka may be the female talk bank shown in the Techno speech research that initially showed us the 2.0 vocoder. The samples in the research are Chis-A, Kirune and an unnamed female talk bank. It’s also important to note that Chis-A and Kirune are labeled as VoiSona, while the female talk bank isn’t. They probably didn’t label her as voisona to not tease the editor too early. Also, not really related to the research, but there has been information about a female talk vb by techno speech in the Cevio ai registry for a long time, so maybe tanaka was originally planned for Cevio ai?

Yep, sounds identical to that vb from the research. Also the talk interface tools kinda ugly. disappointed that there’s no character image displayed in the talk editor. It just feels like smt that’s necessary for character ttss

 

[MillyAqualine]

Her voice is very lovely~ (however for some reasons I'd have imagine it deeper, but like, you know those adult/mature female characters that are on the good side and are a blend between this voicetype and a seductive, bolder, deeper kind)
