Voice Configuration
Teto is designed for Japanese language only. She does not have phonemes for other languages, though some can be improvised, but with rough results. Her voice data is written in Kana, so Western users must convert the filenames into Romaji first before using her. Some have tried to make her sing in other foreign languages such as English.

Teto's voicebank has seen revisions; first, the original release, the second being teto-02, and a new version, teto-03 alpha. Ameya, the author of UTAU, is reportedly involved in the tuning of Teto's voicebank, and teto-03 alpha is seeing regular use due to the improved quality over the previous versions. However, it is still in Kana, but experiments for non-Japanese vocalizations has seen some better potential for English.

Popular Appearances
Teto is immensely popular in Piapro, which is operated by Crypton Future Media. She is also featured in plenty of Vocaloid-related songs, despite the difference of platforms.


 * 1) She appears in the Hatsune Mix manga by KEI. She is shown on two bottles of MEIKO's sake: one labeled "重音てと" (Kasane Teto) page found here, another labeled with her name in default Katakana, "重音テト" page found here ; she appears with Haku Yowane in another chapter.

Combined with Defoko (Uta) and Momo, they are often referred to as "The 3 UTAU Girls." This is due to the fact that they were the first 3 UTAUloids to be publicly released.
