VOCALOID-flex is a particular branch of the VOCALOID software which was designed for talking, presented in February 2010.[1]
About[]
It is more delicate to edit than the normal VOCALOID engine. It can be used in conjunction with software suites such as VTalk. It differs from the normal engine, which focuses only on singing; nevertheless, it works in the same manner of assembling phonetic data. Despite the fact that it is now commercially available, many details about the engine remain unknown. Its development aimed to broaden the use of the VOCALOID software, allowing it to be used for private licensing.
Gachapoid and CV-4Cβ are two of the only voicebanks known to use VOCALOID-flex. Further voicebanks using the software have not been confirmed. It was also used in the game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. It was used for several mechas known as "Metal Gear" within the game, the most notable being "ZEKE", though this was never confirmed to be the name of the voicebank. Ryuto's GachaTalk service ended on February 13, 2015.[2] Parts of Vocaloid-flex were also intended to be offered on the Y2 website NetVOCALOID, which was part of the VocaListener project. This lasted until April 28, 2012, when NetVOCALOID was shut down.
While speech itself has not remained completely absent from VOCALOID with the introduction of related software such as VOICEROID and AITalk, the status of VocaListener itself remains unknown.
