The Character Builder™ software lets you build web sites and multimedia materials with animated characters that engage your audience while driving home your message.

Use the Builder to add virtual people, or avatars, that greet clients and answer questions. Or use it to turn your text, images, and Powerpoint slides into uniquely effective eLearning materials.

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, the optional Character Server™ provides a complete platform for character applications. It installs on a web server and provides an API for dynamic Flash generation, server-side Text-to-Speech, and AI chat.


Choose the perfect character.

Pick a character from a wide range of styles, from cartoons to realistic people. Most character are available in head, bust, and body formats and are capable of speech, emotions, and hand gestures. Many can be customized, and some can even be made in your own likeness using the new PhotoFit feature.

Make your character say as much as you like. Lips are synced automatically. Use your own voice or that of a voice talent, or take advantage of our high-quality Text-to-Speech packs, available in most major languages.

Think of a character as an actor that reads your screenplay and uses your images, movies, and buttons as props. Our unique approach allows animations to be blended together to provide a smooth delivery and a continuous "live" presence.

See examples of characters in lessons, product demos, exercises, training simulations, eGreetings, AI chat, avatar chat, mobile phones, translation, RSS, and more. All samples include downloadable source files.

The Character Builder sets the standard for functionality, flexibility, and value. Use it alone, or in conjunction with Adobe Captivate™, Microsoft Powerpoint™, and other leading tools. View a short flash demo and download it today.
