[About VoiSona]
"VoiSona" is an AI singing software that realistically replicates human singing using cutting-edge AI technology. The name "VoiSona" combines "Voice," meaning sound, and "Persona," meaning personality or charm, reflecting the goal of expressing diverse personalities through voice. The software supports both voice providers and creators, aiming to create a mutually beneficial ecosystem.
Based on years of AI technology developed by Techno-Speech, the software is compatible with both Windows and macOS and supports VSTi/Audio Units, catering to professional needs as well. It comes with a default Japanese voice library called "Chis-A" with a neutral tone. For users without a DAW supporting VSTi/Audio Units, a standalone app is also provided. Audio output created with "VoiSona" and "Chis-A" can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes, generally free of charge, except for specific cases.
