Talk:Megpoid English/@comment-4538784-20131216071822/@comment-53539-20131216211032

Its a buggy program... Full of glitches... And has "basic" english capabilities overall compared to Miku. Unfortantely in terms of English quality, Miku's vocal wins.

I like Megpoid and am sadden this is the draw back of this vocal, but felt its mostly because Internet didn't know quite what was in store for them. I mean they likely knew they'd have a hard project, but even Wat at CFM lost patience with Kaito english at one point. I'm not going to quote his comment though, because he pretty much insulted westerners while doing so... It wasn't one of Wat's better comments.

I think she was released to compete with Miku English, otherwise there isn't much else to say about it. Its a nice all round vocal, which Miku English isn't so much, but its flaws means I hope they consider a V4 version when Vocaloid moves onto the next engine as there is still far too much room for improvement.

I have my hopes up though still as it was their first vocal in English, I didn't have high expectations anyway... If it was a native I'm more critical and have higher, tougher drawn expectations. With Japanese -> English vocals, I lower it because the accent won't be a thing you'll hide completely and it will always create a annoyance for production teams to handle.

My only really issue is that Wat stated flat out the English version is good for Japanese producers to break into the western market with... Which is just... Because... We have producers in the west too... And being native english myself (born and breed, I'm from the UK; England), I kinda wish he'd consider westerners might be noticing what he says.
