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 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.

Arin -
Just to let you know - we will be implementing an API solution to remove the play button controls for users who prefer to do that.
Separately - I don't believe I ever responded to the problem you reported regarding the TTS random failures 2 weeks ago. There was a problem with our engine 4 voices that caused a random failure about 10% of the time.
That problem was resolved within 24 hours. Apologies for any inconvenience.

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.

Hello Arindam,
I understand you would like to control the character directly via the API - presumably you have implemented your own play/pause controls, and do not wish to display the built-in controls.
At present this is not possible. This request has not come up before.
Let me check what we can do to add this feature, I think we should be able to do so in short order.
Please write a note to support@sitepal.com - and make the request & mention my response.
That will enable us to keep a support ticket open - and ensure we get back to you.
Best,
Gil
Matt - can you confirm this now works for you?
Let me know if any problems.
Best,
Gil

Hello Mohammad -
If you sign up for the "Video Export" service we can provide you with an API that does just that.
Video export requires a Platinum account, and requires the separate purchase of "export minutes" - the service is metered by the total length of the videos being generated.
The API call will enable you to provide the text & voice, and select the Scene (from your account), and will return a video in mp4 or ogg format. This functionality is part of our Server API.
To proceed - please send a note to sales@sitepal.com.
Best,
Gil
