Code Geass Speech Synthesizer Service Offered in Japan
posted on by Egan Loo
Not-So-Daily Link of the Day: The Internet service provider Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 anime series. Specifically, s can type in phrases for the software to "speak" in the voices of Lelouch (in his Zero persona) and C.C. s can adjust the pitch, tempo, accent, and the echo effect of the lines as they wish.
The service's website has samples of Zero ("Shaberareru mono nara, yatte miru ga ii") and C.C. ("Watashi ga sō kantan ni shaberu to omou no ka?"), as well a few hundred lines submitted by s. (ANN is awaiting approval to publicly post a custom dialogue line that was created from scratch this morning.) The free version of the service allows s to enter up to 30 lines with a maxmum of 15 syllables each, while the paid version allows an unlimited number of lines up to 50 characters long. s of the paid version can then the dialogue lines they create in WAV or MP3 format, build short stories through playlists, or insert the voices in their blogs through "blog parts" applets (pictured above). Registration is required (in Japanese) for either version.
The Japanese software developers lent his voice to the latest spinoff from Vocaloid, Gackpoid.
