Each voice pack is painstakingly recorded by a real voice over artist which can take hundreds of hours due to the sheer amount of audio needed (remember there are over 2850 individual stations alone. The audio then needs to be edited and refined and finally saved out into thousands of little audio samples. All this work is very timely and expensive. We purchase the rights to this work up front to be able to supply the audio to our customers.
