Using Microsoft X Studio recently, I have reported several deficiencies. Here are some fixings to be applied.
- English and other lingual support beside Chinese
- As a flagship company of the United States. this is a stigma of Microsoft.
- Fifty-eight virtual singers are found there, only supporting Mandarin Chinese, without one for English. Then comes Zo for English and Rinna for Japanese.
- Phonetic input with bare sequence of ASCII characters besides '-', which is mainstream in a majority of vocal synthesizers e.g. Vocaloid, UTAU, Synthesizer V and DeepVocal.
- Non-commercial redistribution of official virtual singers' images in any purpose.
- yin and ying to be added explicitly into the List of Effective Pronunciation.
- Registry using the universal Microsoft Account.
