However, despite this the app did not update the software to an English interface. She was also released for Mobile Vocaloid Editor, as the first English vocal for a Vocaloid related app. It was also confirmed that knowledge gained from her development was used for Fukase's English vocal. The dictionary was finalized in October 2014. Due to its size, they then had to fix the library to make it load faster. A custom dictionary was made for her, this was worked upon in July. She included the schwa sound this is not included in all English vocals despite the fact that the phonetic still was used by the voice. Due to the mix of British and American sounds, CYBER DIVA did not always sound good when the sounds were mixed. They were hired was because over half the team were Japanese and sounds that sounded weird to the non-Japanese members did not sound off to them. The vocal was tested by two hired English teachers. They added 231 different triphones per pitch more than any other English library released before. She has 3 main pitches, with an additional 3 sets of vowel pitches, aka stationaries. CYBER DIVA was recorded in 6 pitch layers. Once the vocal was brought to a reasonable quality, the team working on her was given the choice between going with the current singers or finding a new one. Further tweaks to the scripts were done as recordings went ahead. However, the scripts new results sacrificed expression for clarity and mislabeling was gone. The new script was shorter than the past one and was more difficult for any singer to produce. In March, two more singers were recorded using the new script. The aspiration problem was fixed in the new script and the sounds were compacted to make it easier to control the phonetic data better.

In February 2013, the recording script was rewritten. They did not address the issue of expressive tones until they had recorded the right sounds for the right phonetic symbol. As the problem was fixed, the issue of sounds not matching input symbols were also tweaked. The 'Aspiration Problem' that had plagued past English vocals were also addressed and fixed. There were very clear and expressive sounds present in the constructed libraries. During this process it was noted there were many missing sounds or unusual sounds found they did not expect to be present. Several candidates were tested as possible vocals for the new library.

It was also discovered that English vocals often did not produce the correct sound to match the phonetics in use, caused by accidents in the construction of the vocal either during the recording process or the vocal development process.

This included the frustrations that came with the mixed British and American phonetic system the Vocaloid engine used for its English vocals. She was produced in light of research into common complaints towards past pre-V4 English Vocals. Cyber Diva was later confirmed to be the female from the pair or 'VY3' during a livestream on Vocaloid related matters. At the time the developers did not know if they would re-use past samples or go with a new vocal entirely. The earliest known information related to her dates back to the VY2 release in 2010, in an article a pair of English VY vocals were announced for future development.
