Is in Client API a function that accepts an array of words like

var names = ['Tom','Sara','Jack']

and time interval like 2 mls

and make a video with a character witch says this words with this time gap

for example Tom (2 mls wait) Sara (2 mls wait) ....

Hello Mohammad - 

There is no such API option, but you can use the API function sayText, and in the text include appropriate tags to make the speech engine pause between the words.

The simplest solution is to use commas or periods as separators between the names. This will introduce a pause. 

But if you want to precisely control the length of the pause then you need to use the SSML Break tag.

I can't post an example here - because the forum is designed to strip such tags, but please look in the Client API document, appendix B. See the examples at the bottom of page 36, and look for how the 'time' parameter is used to sepcify the precise length of the break in milliseconds.

Hope this helps,

Gil

Where is the tutorial for android???

Answer

Hello,

Generally, preparing to use SitePal avatars on mobile devices is no different than using them in a web browser in general. Our characters are platform independent and work on all platforms and browsers, and that includes supporting the same API on all platforms, so there is nothing different you need to do.

And there is certainly nothing specifically different about Android.

What are you trying to do on Android?

Hi Van - 

To do that you need to be able to export your SitePal avatar as a video, then add the video to your presentation. 

The video generation and export feature is included with Platinum accounts, and can also be added to Gold accounts at extra cost.  To find out more please send a note to sales@sitepal.com.

Best,

Hi Arin - 

This has been implemented.


In the embed code, the 6th parameter (marked in orange in the code example) - governs whether controls would be displayed or not - change the 1 to 0 to hide controls.

AC_VHost_Embed(16187,450,600,'',1,1, 243560, 0,1,0,'a855d1dbf265f74a3d91c5b3ef2058a9',0);

For a full body character (embed syntax is different) change the parameter 'ct=1' to 'ct=0'

Example:

Hope this helps - lmk if any problem is encountered.

Best,

Gil

Issue with sayText

arin 8 years ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 8 years ago 21

Hi,


Our sitepal ID is: 6745697, we are in our trial period.


sayText was working fine till we are working with simple text like, "Hello There" or "How are you"


Today while we test using a bit large text 

"Hi Arin, Welcome to Cleard Life. I am stefanie. Your interview will start shortly"


it falls short. We are getting this error continuously.


http://cache-a.oddcast.com/tts/gen.php?EID=3&LID=1&VID=3&TXT=Hi%20Arin%2C%20Welcome%20to%20Cleard%20Life.%20I%20am%20stefanie.%20Your%20interview%20will%20start%20shortly&IS_UTF8=1&EXT=mp3&FNAME=&ACC=5883747&API=&SESSION=&CS=eac230dc7847f81fab7b00539ea5b3fb--header

We experienced a problem this morning with one of our database clusters. The system is designed to be failsafe, with an automated failover mechanism built-in. Unfortunately the failover did not kick in this time & our team had to manually address the problem.

We are still investigating why this happened & how to better mitigate should this happen again - and will implement improvements as needed.

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

scaricare scena

info347678 8 years ago in SitePal Gold updated by Gil Sideman 8 years ago 2

Salve, come si scarica una scena?

Answer
Gil Sideman 8 years ago

Hi - 

Scenes would normally be embedded in your web page (not downloaded).

Click on the 'Publish' button to the right of the Scene in your SitePal account, to see available options. 

One of them is 'Embed in web page' - select that option to embed the Scene in your web page.


If you are interested in generating & downloading a video - that option is not available with SitePal Gold - it requires extra cost. Please send a note to support@sitepal.com to find out more.


Hope this helps,

Gil


-------------------------


Ciao -

Le scene verrebbero normalmente incorporate nella tua pagina web (non scaricate).

Fai clic sul pulsante "Pubblica" a destra della scena nel tuo account SitePal per visualizzare le opzioni disponibili.

Uno di questi è "Incorpora nella pagina Web": seleziona questa opzione per incorporare la scena nella tua pagina web.


Se sei interessato a generare e scaricare un video - questa opzione non è disponibile con SitePal Gold - richiede un costo aggiuntivo. Si prega di inviare una nota a support@sitepal.com per saperne di più.


Spero che questo ti aiuti,

Gil

Mobile avatar have several problems

Bjorn 9 years ago updated by Gil Sideman 9 years ago 10

 Dear SitePal,


I find many problems on mobile platforms.


1. AUTOPLAY.  

You say autoplay do not work on mobile devices.  First, this is surprising as for instance Facebook autoplay all my Videos on my FB Wall. Anyway, you say that play not is possible before user has interacted with page. 

QUESTION 1:  Does this mean that we may (have to) create a "Speek" button which by using JavaScript starts avatar speech?

QUESTION 2:  If so, how is the speech started?  There is no 'startSpeech' API call, only a 'stopSpeech' call.  Could the 'reply' API call be used? 
QUESTION 3:  I managed to start speech on avatar running on mobile by creating a button which in its JavaScript click event called 'sayText'.  But I had to press the button 3 times before speech was made!


2. MANUAL PLAY.

Manual play on mobile is possible, but I have to click the avatar 3 (!) times:  

    i.  First to get the play-icon to show.

   ii.  Then I click on the play icon without anything happening.

  iii.   Then on third click, the avatar starts speeking.

QUESTION 4: Why is there not a *large* play button that is visible from the start on mobile, and that accepts a *single* click to start?


SUMMARY:

*) Autoplay is not working.

*) Not able to start the avatar manually. e.g. from another button on the page.

*) Manual play is so cumbersome that most users will not understand how to do it.



Please help.  Mobile is an essential platform.  Only having an avatar being utilized by end-users on a PC platform is not an option.
