Code Geass Speech Synthesizer

Rolled out by NEC Biglobe on Monday, the Japanese ISP has introduced a speech synthesizing service that allows users to come up with their own spoken dialogue with the voices of Code Geass R2 characters, namely Lelouch and C.C. And if you're me, you'd be all over this, since you can now make Lelouch say "I Love You, Suzaku" for real. And if you're not, there's the opportunity create personalized message tones.

Here's a step by step guide by me and hoshi.

Registration

First head over to the homepage and click on the link on the top right.

Click on this big shiny red button in the next page, where you'll be taken to the registration form. For your location be sure to select "その他" for "Others".

Once you're done, head over to your inbox where you'll be required to click on the activation link.

Login with your email and password and you're good to go.

Creation

Now here comes the fun part:

On the left sidebar in the main page you have a choice between C.C and Lelouch, though for the purpose of this tutorial, let's go with the Pizza Witch.

First textbox is where you will key in the title of your creation(no more than 30 characters) while the one below is for the speech itself(no more than 15 characters). Obviously you have to type in moonrunes, though the developers have programmed certain English words like "love", "what", "the" and so on, so feel free to use them, and if they're not in the database, you'll find the voices uttering the alphabets individually.

Your initial outcome is most likely going to be nothing more than a crudely synthesized voice file, which is why you're going to have to fine tune it by clickin on the first of the 3 options you see above.

Edit the voice

Post to the main page

Save to my page

The most technical part of the process, so if you know what you're doing, you can tweak it to your heart's content, though it's not particularly necessary. Also, if you're a premium user you'll be able to save your creations as either .wav or .mp3 files, though I'm sure free users like you and me are able to circumvent that one way or another...

Samples

What The Hell!                                Suzaku, I Love You.

I Love You, Shin!             Welcome to Atarashii Prelude.

Well that's about it, and if you have any queries, just post a comment and I'll try getting hoshi(who so graciously guided me through this whole thing in the first place) to answer them. And if you're too lazy to actually try this out for yourself, there are always the user-made ones which you listen to and perhaps use as your own.
