[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.
