Thanks Gary, Actually I wrote this awhile ago entirely in javascript with a text editor. I thought about turning it into some kind of app, letting the person take pictures of their own face, instead of the grey faces. I didn't follow through because this service, cost money, and at the time I did not see how I could break even. Maybe it's worth another try. :-) Sam
Talking Tina is a demonstration of text to speech synchronized with stop motion animation images known as visemes.
Visemes are a series of pictures depicting a sound being made. In this case there are 24 visemes being used to make Tina's face appear to "pronounce" words.
The TTS service provided by iSpeech also supplies the corresponding viseme and the duration of the sound.
This could be developed further into a fully responsive TTS game or platform.

Really interesting Idea! It gonna looks great with some clay character!

This is really cool! Did you make this in Blender or another program? Very impressive work, are you going to develop it further?
