Enhancements/Tools for an Intelligent Voice-Centric Application

For educational voice?centric applications on computer and electronic devices, the proposed project

aims to investigate methodologies and tools to support collaborative production environments. The

company is developing proprietary collaborative production methods to support high quality ondemand

content for mobile applications at a fraction of the cost of traditional models. A key research

question for this voice? and language?centric application is: what methods and tools should be used

to streamline the animation production process for animators collaborating on 2D animations using

shared characters and resources? The main area of investigation is build an integrated tool for lipsyncing

in a 2D character environment – something that currently does not exist to the level of

sophistication as being proposed. The research project will also investigate the development of a

speech engine specialized for educational mobile applications and specific collaborative production

environment. This applied research is strategic and beneficial to the partner organizataion for being

cost effective while increasing creativity and quality.
