Tohoku Zunko English | SSS LLC. |
On November 22nd, 2019, during a VOICEROID 10th Anniversary livestream, an English version of VOICEROID was announced by AH-Software, with Zunko being the first announced voice that would be funded via a new crowdfunding campaign.[37][38] On January 1st, 2020, Zunko's Twitter revealed that their current goals for the year were to crowdfund for her English voicebank.[39] On March 26th, Zunko's Twitter announced that the beginning of the campaign was delayed due to Zunko's English voice provider having too busy of a schedule to work around, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic making scheduling difficult.[40] On December 25th, it was revealed by some producers that VOICEROID development had silently ceased due to conflicts between AH-Software Co. Ltd. and AI, Inc., developer of the AITalk software which VOICEROID was based on (and which also powers AI's new A.I.VOICE program, which AHS did not adopt).[41][42][43] This brought development of Zunko English to a halt, with no indication of whether it would be cancelled or moved to a different text-to-speech engine like CeVIO AI. With AHS announcing VOICEPEAK Zunko two years later, there is a chance for Zunko English's development to be revived on the new engine, but so far no news have been published. |
