VOICEPEAK is a text-to-speech synthesizer developed by Dreamtonics Co., Ltd. in collaboration with AH-Software Co. Ltd.. VOICEPEAK is equipped with Dreamtonics' AI speech synthesis Syllaflow technology that can be used to easily read aloud words and sentences input via text using high-quality voice synthesis.
History[]
On September 18, 2021, Dreamtonics revealed that they were working on a text-to-speech synthesizer that was described to be "ultra-realistic".[1]
On February 17, 2022, this was revealed to be "VOICEPEAK" (also stylized as "voicepeak" or "VOICE PEAK"), which was developed in collaboration with AH-Software.[2] According to AH-Software's product page, VOICEPEAK was equipped with the high-quality AI speech synthesis engine "Syllaflow", which was developed by Dreamtonics.[3] A trial version of VOICEPEAK, along with one male and one female voice, was released on the same day, with the commercial version set to release for Windows, MacOS, and Linux on March 11 with four females and three males.[4]
On August 11, Dreamtonics teased that new Chinese speech voices were expected to debut the next day, but did not state the engine.[5] On August 12, this was confirmed to be VOICEPEAK and four voices were shown: an adult female, an adult male, a middle-aged or elderly male, and a young female. They were shown to speak with different moods and tones. A release date had not been announced, but more demos were to be expected.[6]
On November 18, AH-Software announced a new character-themed lineup of voice libraries for VOICEPEAK, including Frimomen, Asumi Shuo and Ririse, and Tohoku Zunko (the latter also bundled with Zundamon as a bonus); they were originally expected to be released on December 15,[7] but staff illness delayed the release until January 13, 2023.[8][9] These VOICEPEAK libraries are being marketed in the same fashion as VOICEROID libraries and thus can be seen as the spiritual successors to VOICEROID (AHS' old packaging of AI, Inc.'s AITalk speech-synthesis engine).
