Speech Technology / How to let the Avatar read out a text?

« on: March 21, 2007, 09:29:43 am »

Hi there.

When I started HalPad I was able to let a voice read out the written text. Apparently it was not possible to use a chosen Avatar to do so. Isn't it possible to use UltraHal to give it a text and the avatar then reads it out - using Lip Sync?

If not: Is there any program that can do this with Haptek Characters AND MS Agent Characters?

Thanks for your reply,

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Please help: UltraHal Console Skin needed

« on: March 16, 2007, 05:47:18 am »

Hi there everybody.

I just started playing around with UltraHal (which promises to be a lot of fun). I'll write my thesis about embodied conversational agents and what kind of mental models users have of different avatars.
For my study I need the possibility to use UltraHal without any character(-animation). I did find the "UltraHal Console" skin in the Plugins section but the link seems to be broken.

Does anyone have a copy of that skin that he or she could upload somewhere or mail me?

Thanks for your reply,
