Can you give us the option of no characters at all?
There should be an option if someone doesn't want the character.

how do i delay audio start
I have more rthan one scvene on one webpage. How do I get the second character to start speaking AFTER the first one finishes

Hi Ray!
You would want to use the API callbacks to coordinate.
Check out the API Reference documentation for vh_talkEnded.
You also need to load the characters into separate iframes to be able to individually control them.
We have a code example doing so - please check it out -

and let me know if any questions.

HTML5 TTS on iOS Not Working?
When visiting the "Dynamically Call Text-to-Speech" demo page (http://www.oddcast.com/support1/saytext_classic.html) from an iOS device (confirmed with iPads running iOS 9 and iOS 10), a spinning icon appears and the audio is not played. The avatar itself renders fine; it just malfunctions when any of the links on the page are clicked to generate TTS audio. Other demos with static audio work fine. Symptoms appear with Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. We are experiencing the same symptoms with our own avatars on our own pages. Other browsers and operating systems work fine. Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround for iOS devices?

In revisiting this issue - I'd like to add that the code was revised shortly after this discussion to ensure that attempting to initiate speech on a mobile browser before page is activated will not cause an error.

Hi Peter - please see embed instructions here -

Let me know if this resolved the issue for you.
Regards

Text to speech with sayText() and the apostrophe character ' (reserved?)
Hello,
I use, for example, the expression sayText(' Bonjour ',4,4,4),sayText(' je m appelle François')
The character ' is therefore a reserved character.
For example, I replace "je m'appelle l'avatar" with "je m appelle l avatar" but the reading by the avatar is not always fluid.
How to replace this reserved character apostrophe ' in the texts to be read ?
cordially
François

Bonjour,
J'utilise par exemple l'expression sayText(' Bonjour ',4,4,4),sayText(' je m appelle François')
Le caractère ' est donc un caractère réservé.
Je remplace par exemple "je m'appelle l'avatar" par "je m appelle l avatar" mais la lecture par l'avatar n'est toujours fluide.
Comment remplacer ce caractère réservé apostrophe ' dans les textes à lire ?
Cordialement
François

Volume of the stream in text-to-speech full body
Hello Gil,
In my account, the volume of each scene for the text-to-speech can be set.
Is it possible to do this dynamically by indicating before the playback of each scene the desired sound level?
Parameter of the function http://vhss-d.oddcast.com/fb_embed_functions_v3.php?
Thank you
François

Bonjour Gil,
Dans le compte, le volume sonore de chaque scene pour le text-to-speech peut être paramétré.
Est-il possible de le faire dynamiquement en indiquant avant la lecture de chaque scène le niveau sonore souhaité ?
paramètre de la fonction http://vhss-d.oddcast.com/fb_embed_functions_v3.php ?
Merci
François

François,
Yes there is a 'setVolume' API call that allows you to do so.
However - please note that setVolume does not function on mobile browsers. The Mobile browser does not enable JS access to the speaker volume level.
Here's one of our API examples which demonstrates use of this function -

Hope this helps,
Gil
