How This Works
This demo is submitting the text you type back to our Text-To-Animation Engine (running on a server). On the server we have a various Text-To-Speech engines running. They are used to generate the audio. The Karen, Rick and Mara voices are created using the SpeechWorks Speechify TTS Engines.

Try This
You can add emotional markup. The markup can be instantaneous (click here for an example) or continuous (click here for an example). Common emotions include:

  • happy
  • sad
  • afraid
  • disgusted
  • surprised
  • angry
If you wish to change the intensity of the emotions, you may do so you typing in a level after the emotion. For example: <happy 30>

You can also create pauses in the speech by typing in <pause 1000>. Change the number to the length of pause you wish (in milliseconds).

Potential Applications
Rather than sending the same text back to you, it is possible to have the text submitted to an Artificial Intelligence engine, a database or a CRM program (where a person types in a response). The text from one of these sources could then be submitted to a program on that in turn converts it to motion data which is streamed back to you. This is interactive face-to-face communication over low-bandwidth connections!
