[V]Host™ SitePal creates animated characters that you can publish on any Web page and that will say exactly what you want them to. Created in Flash, SitePal characters can lip-synch your recordings, or recite any text that you write. There are no downloads or CDs. All the scenes are streamed from SitePal to your Web pages. In a matter of minutes (once you have gone through the tool at least once) is all that you will need to have one of these characters on your site. According to research conducted at Stanford University, interactive characters increase trust in online information sources and make interfaces easier to use. When given a choice, 90% of users prefer having an interactive character to having no character at all. The amount of controls to customize the character look, cosmetic aspect and dressing is impressive. You can add your own audio and background with much ease. As mentioned audio can also be added by using an optional (+ USD $10/month) text-to-speech converter. Here a short list of the most impressive features: 16 Different Models. View Gallery Up to One Minute of Audio Time Per Scene Can Be Integrated Into Any HTML Page. Easily Copy and Paste the VHost Code Into Your Web Page. Runs on Pure Flash. No Software Download and Installation Needed. Change Character's Audio Files as Often as You Wish.(.wav or .mp3) Upload Your Own Background Bundled Background Library Bundled Audio Library Embed on Multiple Websites Embeded Character File size 50- 100 KB Mac users can benefit and use all of this made exception for the live recording functionality. They can indeed pre-record the audio and upload it for lip-syncing. Try out this amazing new presentation tool by heading out to www.oddcast.com/sitepal SitePal.com. One month account costs USD $ 29.95 and it allows you to have two animated scenes that you can re-edit and update anytime you wish. You can see a great implementation of the same technology also at: host.egreetings.com/ I suggest also to see another great example in action at: www.speak2me.net/ Try to invite out to dinner to the kind lady that will appear on the page. Talk to her by writing short messages in the white box just below her face. Highly recommended. - Michael , posted 06/05/05 |
