One of my biggest peeves right now is that voices cost a ton of money, few are readily available otherwise, and a lot of the new stuff is cloud-dependent. (Which is a big turn-off to me.)
Right now, I'd like to see if there are any tweaks that can improve the quality (or even experiment with concatenate synthesis). Most likely, it will stay robotic. So an extension to do would be to research on singing synthesis (vocaloid kind).
What I meant was, are you looking at making it available for others to use in things (open source, perhaps), or looking to make a product out of it? And if the latter, something cloud-based, or something I could run on my own machine?

I'm super excited about this.

What are you looking to do with this?

Yes, I'm looking into a cloud based API that anyone can call into.
