The card plays the synthesizer inside that package. Download is the compressed file, with a short README. No account and no monthly fee.
Each card is one real mouth. Press Play to hear that synthesizer. Buy is $7.77 once. A style name on a shelf pack uses one of these mouths. It is not a second recording.
Same preview as before. Each face speaks through its packaged Piper voice. The product you send is the compressed pack above, not a loose profile.
