Andrei,
Yes that is possible.

Send us your PB user id (your login) and your SitePal login, and we will link the two accounts together for you to enable exactly what you asked.

Send to support@sitepal.com

Hi Rivka -
I assume this is the image you are trying to use
It is not a very good candidate photo - face looking sideways, shadows over the face (non-uniform lighting) and forehead is obscured.
Also, the hat is protruding far and wide - all of which may cause sub-par results.
That said - it should not time out. So we're looking into the timeout & will advise.
At the same time please see if you can find a better image to use.
Regards,
Gil

We looked into publish to Facebook - and we did not encounter a problem. Please try again - perhaps problem was affected by temporary internet connectivity lapse. If you still see a problem would be great if you could provide more information to help us understand exactly what happened.
Thanx

"The Link" is where your site visitor is directed when he or she clicks on your SitePal character.

Sure, you can use the Oddcast site, or Google site, or any site that you like as "the Link" - but why would you? The Link would normally point to a location related to the content of your character's speech.

example: The SitePal character in my blog might say - "I'm Gil, I live in NY, and I've been blogging for 12 years. Click on me to find out more about me". And "the Link" would be set to my bio page. A user who would click on my SitePal character would thus be directed to my bio page.

Hope this helps. We'll look into the publish to FB right away and advise.

Gil
Hi Vivian -
The "Link Settings" is an optional feature which allows you to setup a link that will be opened when the user clicks on your SitePal, or when your SitePal character speaks.
This feature can be used to allow your SitePal to refer to related content, i.e. -
"Click on me to learn more".

The note at the bottom is meant to avoid an "infinite loop"
For example:
If your SitePal is embedded in your web page at - www.mysite.com/abc
then clicking on your SitePal should not lead to the same page, but to any other page of your choice.

I'm sorry if our instructions were not clear enough.
Hope this helps - let me know if any questions.
Regards
Gil

We ARE on it. Aim is to launch this quarter.
Should be able to post a demo link soon - that should help ground the discussion.

Winstone -

The TTS API allows you to synchronize display with audio playback. By providing you with synchronized callbacks - it allows your application to display whatever is appropriate for your needs - i.e. you may scroll the text horizontally, vertically, highlight it in colors, display a bouncing ball, magnify the words as they are being read etc....

In other words, speaking the text is up to us, displaying it (or not) is up to your application.

The "scrolling" example that we provide showcases the ability to synchronize audio playback with a corresponding display of the text being read. Adapting it to display the text in a different manner (i.e. highlight) should not be hard.

Hope this helps,
Gil
Glad to hear it worked!

Would be good idea to add animated Gif support - but not heard much of a clamoring for. In any case - It's on our list.
Winstone -
This functionality can be implemented using our API.
You would need a bit of Javascript experience - but to make life easier we have created an example - feel free to lift the code from this example and adapt it to your needs:
