[What is Koe-Pale?]
Koe-Pale is an electronic picture book that permits recording a story and enjoying it as in a picture-card show.
The scripts are recorded separately for each main character and the voices are stored. Therefore, just like colors in a palette,
different voices can be assigned to different characters (for instance, you play the main role, mom plays role X, dad plays role Y, etc.)
Try it in your family or with friends. There is also a feature that permits transforming the recorded voice. Even when a single person records
all the roles, they will sound differently for each character when heard.
