Pepper's voice released as a singing synthesiser library

Nagoya-based Techno-Speech released a Japanese singing voice library based on Pepper for its VoiSona software, developed with SoftBank Robotics. The same voice is used in a Pepper app that improvises lyrics, melodies, singing and dancing from themes given by users. The library is sold by annual or monthly subscription. It shows how a social robot's character, including its voice, has become a cultural asset in Japan beyond the hardware itself.
