Concept
It is a voice synthesizing engine much like VOCALOID, but is made to create erotic sounds instead of singing. It can voice the 50 Japanese consonants along with several hundred terms to sound like a recreation of an eroge. There are a few extras, such as the ability to insert customized special sound effects. Acme Iku's voice can be used in games and animation and those works can be sold. However, it is illegal to distribute her full voicebank. There are exceptions with the Lite version.

Etymology
The name Acme in kanji is the choice of corresponding pronunciation and has no valid literal interpretation. In katakana 'Acme' in Japanese literally means "orgasm." And Iku is a common erotic moan in Japan, meaning "to come, to orgasm." As such, her name translates into a sexual innuendo. Her name simplified in hiragana is "あくめいく".

Appearance
She is a housemaid android who is meant to be a lewd and cute character.

Voicebank Libraries
The majority of western UTAU users who manage secure the UTAU voicebank for their own usage do not own the original voicebank and it is estimated that the number of users who own it illegally is quite high. Part of the problem was that because other UTAU voicebanks are shared freely, they presume the same for MAIDLOID even though this is not the case.

Trivia

 * Those in the fandom that are aware of her have called her the perverted "VOCALOID"/"UTAUloid"/"x-loid".
