The goal of our research is the analysis, evaluation and study of feasibility for integrating these techniques with existing text to speech translation tools. This integration provides the user a method of virtual characters that allows the generation of facial movements which are synchronized with the synthetic speech generated automatically by the text to speech engine.
As a base for the research, the use of the frame provided by the compression and transmission of multimedia standard MPEG-4 was decided. This standard includes a specification of the concepts applicable to computer facial animation. The results obtained of the evaluated techniques about the quality of the generated animation are satisfactory and demonstrate the possibility of the use of the generated virtual characters with voice in computer applications as an user interaction metaphor.
