===2015===
During an interview, 1st Place's CEO stated that an English voicebank for IA was something they wanted to try. However, they wouldn't release it if they didn't think they were able to deliver high enough quality.http://www.vocaloidism.com/interview-with-1st-place-at-anime-expo-2015/
===2016===
In late June, a questionnaire titled "This is a questionnaire about virtual artist, IA. And Japanese Anime & Character culture" featured a question asking if the participant had used IA. This was then followed by a question asking if they would try her if there was an English version.http://1stplace.co.jp/ia/questionnaire/
On July 1, the English voicebank was revealed to be in development through a Weibo comment stack.http://weibo.com/5935695408/DCQ0Mucqh?type=comment#_rnd1467507793850 A tweet also mentioned that IA English and a talking voicebank were being developed.https://twitter.com/kadotanimitsuru/status/749677739276275712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw However, 1st Place later denied the claims of a CeVIO talk bank. They stated that they would only release the speaking voicebank if it was deemed high enough quality and that the engine was not confirmed.http://www.vocaloidnews.net/en/vnn-interview-with-1st-places-ceo-murayama-kumiko/
