* [[w:Adobe Inc.]]'s [[w:Adobe Voco|Voco]] unreleased prototype publicly demonstrated in 2016. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw&t=5s View and listen to Adobe MAX 2016 presentation of Voco)]
* [[w:DeepMind]]'s [[w:WaveNet]] that was acquired by [[w:Google]] in 2014
Neither of these software are available to the masses at large according to the "official truth", but as is known software has a high tendency to get pirated very quickly.
