On November 19, JPchain Co., Ltd. released the next generation speech synthesis AI platform “Aivis Project” developed by the company. Currently, the desktop application “AivisSpeech”, the web platform “AivisHub”, and the speech model creation tool “AIVM Generator” are available. “AivisSpeech” can be downloaded and used for free from the company’s website.
“AivisSpeech” is a high-performance AI speech synthesis software that runs in a Windows/Mac compatible local environment. The quality is so high that it is indistinguishable from a human voice, and it is said that English words, proper nouns, dates, etc. can be read naturally. Operation is intuitive, and you can make precise changes to the speaker’s style, speaking speed, pace, volume, silence before and after, and accent for each sentence. Although unofficial, it is also possible to link to “Yukkuri MovieMaker4” (YMM4). The software can be used freely without the need for credits, whether for individuals, corporations or commercial purposes.

“AivisHub” is a web platform that allows you to distribute and download speech synthesis modules. All models have the same license (ACML / ACML-NC / public domain (CC0)), so you can use them without worrying about differences in use cases, and you can publish speech synthesis models in AIVM / AIVMX format that can be used with “AivisSpeech” etc. In addition, features are being developed such as the ability to listen to voice samples and insert them directly into the “AivisSpeech” run from the model’s details page.
AivisHub is a web platform that allows you to distribute and download speech synthesis modules.
In addition, there is a web service called “AIVM Generator” that can generate AIVM/AIVMX files, an open file format for sharing AI speech synthesis models. In addition, we currently have “AivisBuilder,” which allows you to create a voice synthesis model even from mixed voice data that has not been recorded for voice model generation, and “Aivis API,” which allows you synthesize voice. high-speed modules on a high-performance GPU server using the API are also under development.
These services are intended to be used in a variety of settings, including video production, commentary and guidance for game development, podcasts, audiobooks, informational broadcasts, and demo audio production.
How does “AivisSpeech” address the “uncanny valley” effect often associated with synthetic speech, and what steps were taken to achieve a truly natural-sounding voice?
