**AH-Software Co. Ltd.** (株式会社AH-Software, originally **Artist House Solutions Co. Ltd.** or **ArtistHouse Software**) or **AHS Co., Ltd.** (株式会社AHS) officially, is an importer of digital audio workstation and encoders in Tokyo, Japan. It is also known as the developer of the VOICEROID text-to-speech series.

## History

AH-Software was established in 2005 as an importer and seller of music software in Tokyo, Japan. Planning of the first three AH-Software Co. Ltd. vocals began in 2007. In November 2009, they announced that they were going to distribute VOCALOID2 and VOICEROID products in December 2009. AH-Software became the fifth developer of music voice synthesis software with this release.

After the retirement of the VOCALOID STORE, they also began to sell physical copies of Macne Nana.

After a successful campaign in Germany, they began to expand and announced their plans in Vienna, Austria.

### 2020

On June 26, 2020, in collaboration with Dreamtonics Co., Ltd., AH-Software announced they would distribute Synthesizer V Studio products starting on July 30.

On October 30, it was revealed that VOICEROID2 plans for Koharu Rikka –a new speech voicebank by TOKYO6 ENTERTAINMENT which was to be distributed by AHS– had ceased in favor of having her talk software be on CeVIO AI instead due to a desire from TOKYO6 to be on all the latest technology (namely, *artificial-intelligence*-based synthesis as opposed to *sample*-based synthesis) at the time of Rikka's eventual release; those who were disappointed with the decision were given the option to apply for a refund if they had contributed to her crowdfunding campaign.

On December 25, it was revealed by some producers that VOICEROID development had silently ceased due to conflicts between AH-Software Co. Ltd. and AI, Inc., developer of the AITalk software which VOICEROID was based on (and which also powers AI's new A.I.VOICE program, which AHS did not adopt). This partly explains why:

* Development of an English version of *VOICEROID2* (with Tohoku Zunko as its first voice, which would have been a crowdfunded project) was put on hold, with no indication of whether it would be cancelled or moved to a different text-to-speech engine. Such version was initially announced by AHS on November 22nd, 2019 in a VOICEROID 10th Anniversary livestream.
* An updated version of Tsurumaki Maki (originally a VOICEROID+) was instead developed for CeVIO AI along with an English version.

### 2022

On February 17, 2022, Dreamtonics unveiled VOICEPEAK, a text-to-speech synthesizer described to be "ultra-realistic" which was developed in collaboration with AH-Software. According to AHS' product page, VOICEPEAK was equipped with the high-quality AI speech synthesis engine "Syllaflow", which was developed by Dreamtonics. A trial version of VOICEPEAK, along with one male and one female voice, was released on the same day, with the commercial version set to release for Windows, MacOS, and Linux on March 11 with four females and three males.

On November 18, AH-Software announced a new character-themed lineup of voice libraries for VOICEPEAK, including Frimomen, Asumi Shuo and Ririse, and Tohoku Zunko; they were originally expected to be released on December 15, but staff illness delayed the release until January 13, 2023. These VOICEPEAK libraries are being marketed in the same fashion as VOICEROID libraries and thus can be seen as the spiritual successors to VOICEROID.
