Hello Frank!

This is entirely doable, and we have two examples on the support pages that showcase exactly that - 

On the advanced examples page - look for "SitePal Conversation":

http://www.oddcast.com/support1/cookbook.html

However - I would advise you to wait for about a week, as we are just about to release an update which would greatly simplify api access to multiple characters on the page.

In the examples noted above - we demonstrate how to control each character via the API. This is accomplished by loading each character into its own iframe, which enables the characters to be individually addressed / called.

Needless to say this makes page design and maintenance a bit more cumbersome than it otherwise would be.

In the upcoming update, we add new built in addressing capabilities to the API - which will make it possible to embed your characters into the same page, without using an individual iframe for each, and access each of them individually via the API.

When we launch this update, we will provide new examples that demonstrate the new method.

Hope this helps,

Hello!

While each audio can be up to 900 characters long, it is simple enough to queue multiple audios for sequential playback, thereby overcoming this limitations.

Calling the API function sayText repeatedly, automatically queues several audios for playback.

The following technical examples demonstrate this technique - please feel free to review and adapt  the code from these pages if helpful.

Hello!

There are several options I'd like to suggest.

First - to remove controls from the SitePal Scene, uncheck "display controls" option when grabbing your embed code.

To play a series of Scenes -

a. We offer an enterprise level version of the SitePal product called the "Avatar Studio" that includes the ability to create sequences of Scenes, which can play in sequence (with or without controls).

If this is of interest - please send a note to sales@sitepal.com for pricing & info.

b. Using the Client API you can play a sequence of audios - either recorded audios (using 'sayAudio' function) or TTS audios (using 'sayText' function). It is quite simple to do - as our player supports queing of pending playback requests.

This is not exactly what you asked - but it may be good enough.

Hope this helps.

Yes, you can easily do so using the API.

As you make successive calls to "sayText" they can be queud for playback in sequence.

There is no limit to how many audios you can queue in this way.

Here's a good technical example:

Hope this is helpful,

Hi Peter!

At the moment that's not possible.

The default behavior is that play button appears when cursor is in motion over the character. Button remains visible for a few seconds and then fades if cursor is motionless.

I've added this to our product wish list - we'll look into enabling the play button to remain visible, perhaps through adding a new embed attribute, but due to our development schedule this may take some time.

Hello!

Please send a note to support@sitepal.com and we will gladly look into it.

Note that SitePal is primarily used as a cloud based solution to be embedded into your website or mobile app.

If you are looking to download video of your speaking character (eg for tutorials, youtube videos etc), you would need a Gold subscription.

Best regards

Hi - 

Your page (in which your sitepal character is embedded) must be delivered by a web server.

But you can easily install a local server. Most developers do.

Hope this helps,

Gil
