SGX
SGX is a production suite for generating high-quality facial animation from audio. It produces accurate lip sync as well as nonverbal behaviors including full-face emotional expressions, head motion, blinks and eye darts. It provides both batch processing and interactive editing capabilities. SGX is used by developers looking to produce facial animation content efficiently, at consistent quality, and with creative control.
SGX works for any language, even fictional ones. Input consists of audio files. Optional transcripts of the audio can also be input for 11 different languages (14 dialects), to support higher-quality lip sync. Output animation files can be imported into game engines or other 3D animation systems.
SG Com
SG Com is an SDK that provides access to Speech Graphics' real-time audio-driven facial animation technology, enabling developers to build applications with avatars driven by voice.
SG Com's processing engine converts an incoming audio stream into synchronous, high-fidelity facial animation, which may be streamed to other endpoints. Output animation includes lip sync, full-face emotional expressions, blinks, eye darts, and head movement, all driven by the speaker's voice. The processing delay between input audio and output animation is just 50 milliseconds, which makes it suitable for real-time conversations.
SG Com also includes a player which handles buffering, decoding and synchronized playback of animation from an engine.
The core library is a C API. It is currently built and tested on Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. Also available are an Unreal Engine plugin and sample Unity integrations.
Rapport
Rapport is an end-to-end AI cloud platform for deploying interactive characters with ease. It is modular and configurable, offering developers the ability to combine state-of-the art speech and chatbot technologies with expressive, relatable digital characters powered by SG Com. It is available to use on the web, or offline, or in real-time on any platform or device. See rapport.cloud for more.
