Aoni Production Agency, CoeFont Collaborate on AI-Replicated Voice Service Trained on Voice Actors

The first project under the partnership uses vocal data from 10 voice actors, including Masako Nozawa and Banjō Ginga, to create AI-replicated voices for use in virtual assistants (such as Alexa and Google Assistant), medical devices, robots, and voice-assisted navigation.

Talent management agency Aoni Production and AI voice platform CoeFont announced a new partnership on Monday.

The app features classic works of Japanese literature read by synthesized voices of three notable voice actors, including late voice actor Kenji Utsumi, Shūichirō Umeda, and Katsuyuki Konishi.
