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. 

Regards,

Gil

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

Yes, using successive calls to the 'sayText' API call you can have your character speak several audios in sequence, each with a different voice.

We have a great technical example of that here - 

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

Click on the "Speak Greeting" link under the character to hear the character speak in 5 different voices in sequence.

Hope this helps,

No.  Only you can modify/update your speaking character and what it says, by logging into your SitePal account. 

Once you make changes to a SitePal Scene in your account, these changes will be immediately reflected on your web pages everywhere that Scene is embedded. 

Of course, if you want to enable users to select their avatars and enter text or audio for the avatar to speak, that's possible to do with our APIs. Depending on what you want to do, it may require the Enterprise API (which requires the Platinum plan).

If that's what you are looking for, it might be helpful to discuss/advise - please reach out to sales@sitepal.com.

Best regards,

Gil

This issue is being followed up directly via email.

A few words for the record (and future readers) 

The client's implementation is on Android native app, where the client has loaded their SitePal avatar in a webview. This is the recommended approach for native app integration.

The client has noticed 'stalling' as described above, apparently only in that context. We are currently waiting to receive the development app for review, to allow us to recreate and advise.
I expect to follow up here when more information is available.
