Did you know Bot Libre also provides 3D avatars and a free web speech API?

Creating animated avatars.

    Can someone tell me how I can animate an avatar, so that it will work with text to speech? I have created animated avatars in the past, but I had to use photoshop and/ or a program like Crazytalk. I also used Conversive Studio to get the pictures of the avatars using phonemes to sync with a text to speech engine. I just didn't know if there is an easier way to create animated avatars that will sync with text to speech. I thought about using DI-D or some other video animator software, but it seems to me that you would have to make a video for every answer that a bot makes. If someone knows of an easier way to animate avatars, please let me know. Thanks.

You can use any of Bot Libre's avatars, just click on the avatar's Embed button, or link it to your bot.

For a custom designed avatar you can request one here,

To create your own video based avatar see,

For a 3D avatar or metaverse solution we use the Unity development environment and Bot Libre Metaverse SDK to develop 3D solutions, contact [email protected]

I know that I can use animated avatars from the BOTlibre website. but I want to create an animated avatar from images I have created. I also know that you say that you can make them for me, but I would like to try and do it myself. I wasn't satisfied with the Julie animation. Her mouth doesn't sync with the text to speech. I have tried others too, but their mouth patterns don't sync either. I am trying to make an avatar similar to the ones on the Synthesia website. I want them to look as human as possible, while their mouth patterns sync with text to speech.
