In a media-saturated world, organizations are increasingly turning to live actors, speech, and animation, to deliver their message with impact. Our digital actors let you skip the expensive studio sessions and produce interactive video materials at your own desk.

The Character Builder™ software installs on your PC and lets you generate unlimited, royalty-free animation in HTML5, Flash and Video formats.

Use it to create linear animation for insertion into leading video and training tools. Or use the non-linear animation features to create characters that have a continuous presence and appear to have a life of their own.

The optional Character Server™ generates audio and video streams from arbitrary text, such as the weather. Use it to power virtual agents, and viral marketing solutions in which web visitors create their own messages.

Use an off-screen narrator, or pick a character from a wide range of styles, from cartoon characters to realistic virtual people.

Most characters are available in head, bust, and body formats and are capable of speech, emotion, and hand gestures. Many can be customized using logos and swappable clothing, including professional clothing for medical, police, or military applications. Some can even be made in your own likeness using a photo.

You can use your own voice, or that of a voice talent. Or save time and money and use our pre-licensed, high-quality Speech packs, available in most major languages.

Think of your character as an actor that reads your script and uses your images, movies, and Powerpoint slides as props. Just add iconic commands such as Look, Point, and Show, and watch as the software creates a smooth, natural delivery. You don't need to be an animator - all you need is a message.

See examples of digital actors that teach, chat, coach, deliver the news, and much more.

The Character Builder sets the standard for functionality, flexibility, and value. Use it alone, or in conjunction with Adobe Captivate™, Microsoft Powerpoint™, Articulate Presenter™, and other leading tools. Why not view a short flash tutorial, or try it free for 15 days.
