Backed by the Yamaha Corporation , it developed the software into the commercial product "Vocaloid." [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The software enables users to synthesize singing by typing in lyrics and melody . It uses synthesizing technology with specially recorded vocals of voice actors or singers. To create a song, the user must input the melody and lyrics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid
