VOCALINA

Vocalina (보카리나) is a "text to speech" vocal synthesizer for singing and is much like Vocaloid3.

About
The software is of Korean origins. There is one vocal for the software currently "Vora". Just as Cantor was a rival to the English Vocaloid engine voicebanks, Vocalina is regarded as a rival to the SeeU Vocaloid 3 voicebank. A second "soft voice" vocal is due to be added to the software called "Khylin".

Usage for Music
It terms of quality of singing results, Vocalina has poor quality in comparison to the Vocaloid and UTAU engines and produces a heavy amount of engine noise. It has a interface that is similar to the Vocaloid 3 interface.


 * Example of Vora And SeeU singing 듀엣곡_승인

What separates it from UTAU and Vocaloid is its Text-to-speech input method rather then focusing on phonetic input like UTAU and Vocaloid. Though this is a quick and easy method of inputting text, Text-to-Speech synthesizers suffer from the issues related to word spelling. Whereas phonetic interfaces simply switch phonetics, Text-to-speech has to swap the spelling of a word around, as they take the word as it is literally spelt. This can be both a good and a bad issue.
