Human Science (hereinafter referred to as HS): Please tell us about the background of considering e-learning.
VALTES Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as VALTES; honorifics omitted): At VALTES, we offer seminars on software quality and testing for engineers. In the past, we have conducted seminars by going to various locations in Japan for on-site events.
Due to the limited number of instructors and the difficulty of holding on-site events during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have started considering e-learning as a way to expand our sales channels.

Customer Feedback
HS: Please tell us the reason for choosing our company.
Valtes: When we were considering e-learning, we heard from multiple e-learning service providers.
At first, we were also considering creating content in-house and were gathering information.
Among them, Human Science also offers support for introducing e-learning and we inquired with them, hoping for advice on production.
The reason we chose Human Science was for their ability to achieve machine-generated voice.
In order to maintain stable voice quality, we decided to use machine-generated voice, excluding personal elements.
We checked samples from various companies, but the machine-generated voice proposed by Human Science was natural and close to what we were aiming for.
HS: How was the response after the e-learning release?
Valtes: We started recruiting for e-learning for exam preparation in December 2020.
We also conducted a campaign and more than 200 people have used it in total.
We conducted a survey of participants and there was no rejection towards machine voices, which was good.

HS: Could you please share your feedback on our services and products?
Valtes: We asked you to create a narration file and adjust the timing based on the PowerPoint prepared here, but in the middle of the project, we needed to completely replace the PowerPoint with about 200 slides.
Significant revisions were necessary, but it was great that you were able to respond flexibly.
In terms of quality, both the machine voice and overall quality were stable.
eLearning was our first attempt, and it was positioned as a trial, but we were able to gain confidence that eLearning can be utilized as one of our services in the future.
