The objective of the Speaking Portal Project is to design, develop, and deploy a lip-sync animation API for the Kukarella text-to-speech (TTS) web application. This API will serve as an animation-generating add-on for this system so that the user can both listen to and watch their avatar speak the user provided text.
Is this related to a problem? Please describe.
If the audio and text file have a pause (added via Kukarella voice effects), then the character will stay still with eyes open for the entirety of the pause.
Describe the solution you'd like
identify long frames
set the character's body position to the default standing position
break the long paused frame into multiple smaller frames
implement blinking
implement eyes moving left and right (if there's time to implement)
