Right now I think CeVIO needs to focus on competing with UTAU. UTAU, like CeVIO, suffers from engine noise. But like CeVIO, it is extremely expressive and emotional in the right hands. However, UTAU is free and offers much more variety in terms of languages and voicetypes, as well as the ability to make your own voicebanks. For this reason, most people are currently choosing UTAU over CeVIO. This is the something the company is going to need to address to succeed. i'm not sure how you can compete with a free software which really doesn't do anything to advertise/market.
