Vocaloid is used alot with Miku Miku Dance which is alot of fun to mess with once you get the hang of it.

This company were featured on the gadget show - http://www.cereproc.com

They have a demo bar at the top of the page with a selection of voices to choose from. Try it out it's pretty cool.

And guess what! they are another company based in Scotland!!
