Speak freely with this, the last word in automatic lip-synch programs

Recently, there has been an onslaught of developers releasing automatic lip-synching technologies as plugins or standalone programs. With so many to choose from, what makes Voice-O-Matic special?

Quite simply, its ease of use. Everything is so well laid out on the utilitarian interface that you can simply skip the documentation. You’re initially presented with either a wizard to guide you along the five steps, or you can just dive right in. Every step is almost entirely selfexplanatory. You simply load an audio track of the dialogue you want to synch, load a text file of the same dialogue (or type it), and (providing that you have your Phonemes and
Visemes mapped) you process the result. And that’s it.

Di-O-Matic’s plugins are known to be easy to use, and this one is no exception. After using other third-party automatic lip-synch products in the past, it amazes me that the developers made the process as they did. These other manufacturers really ought to stop and look how it should be done, and Voice-O-Matic is the ideal teacher.
