Plug-and-play character animation.

The Character Builder software lets you build web sites and multimedia materials using animated characters, or avatars, that engage your audience while driving home your message.

Use the Builder to add virtual people to your site, to greet clients and answer questions. Or use it to turn your Powerpoint slides and other materials into uniquely effective presentations and quizzes.

The Character Builder creates royalty-free Flash and video files that run download-free just about anywhere. Best of all, you don't need to be an animator or a developer to use it. All you need is a message.

For developers, Media Semantics offers a complete platform for character-based applications. The optional Character Server installs on a web server and provides an API for dynamic Flash generation, server-side Text-to-Speech, and AIML with Search.

Choose the perfect character.

Pick a character from a wide range of styles, from cartoons to realistic human figures, in head, bust, and body formats. You can customize many characters, or you can create your own characters using standard tools and formats.

Make your character say as much as you like, using your own voice, a voiceover, or high-quality Text-to-Speech. Lip movements and hand gestures are synchronized automatically.

Imagine the possibilities!

Think of a character as an actor, with your high-level movie script as a guide, and with images, movies, and buttons as props. Pre-fab animations are blended together to provide a smooth delivery and a continuous "live" presence. See examples of characters in lessons, product demos, exercises, training simulations, greetings, AI chat, avatar chat, mobile phones, translation, RSS, and more. All samples include downloadable source files.
