CeVIO is the collective name of a range of computer software projects, including Vision (digital signage) and Creative Studio (audio creation software). CeVIO was made to assist in the creation of user-generated content.[1] It works via text-to-speech method.

Overview

It allows audio creation software for speech and voice synthesizing. Speech and Song are this program's main features. The Speech portion offers a large dictionary of words to which Sato Sasara, Suzuki Tsudumi, and Takahashi speak from and are accurate in the Japanese language, though you have the option to manually edit it yourself if need be. The Speech portion was created with help of the HTS method, this method is famous in the VOCALOID fanbase because this method created the online synthesizers Sinsy, Open J-Talk, Renoid Player, and many more. The Speech portion offers different types of voices for each character.

CeVIO Creative Studio's speech intonation can be controlled with three parameters: cheery, angry, and sad. Other things can be controlled as well, such as volume and speed of consonants and vowels.

It also offers a version called "CeVIO Creative Studio FREE". This is a free demo version of CeVIO available for download from CeVIO's website. Sato Sasara is the only voice available for use in this version. In the Free version, one was free to create tracks, insert lyrics, and add breaths to the end of notes, but even then those would get caught up in the end of her already automatically set breaths. Anything else would require external software but didn't really stop the choppiness of her vowel transitions.

In the commercial version, more options for fine-tuning became available. Fine-Tune Amplitude Timing, which allows editing of the choppiness. Pitch can be adjusted like before, but now pitch-bends are also able to be edited, along with vibrato and vibrato timing are also able to be edited. Most importantly, volume and dynamics can be edited. Gender factor is also available, which makes the voice less or more mature. The option to import MIDI's and .xml's is still present. The file extension also has changed from the free version's ".ccs" to ".csv".

On the 14th of November 2014, an upgrade "CeVIO Creative Studio S" was announced.[2] On the November 19, 2014 the FREE version was discontinued.

On the 26th of January 2016, the software was upgraded to 2.0, the update included general bug fixes and improvements.
