Hi -

We've added a new function to the client api - "resize" - the Client API Reference has been updated (on the support page) to include this function. This function allows you to dynamically resize the Scene when the page dimensions change, to support responsive design. Resizing is done dynamically and does not reload the character. We recommend that original aspect ratio be maintained when the Scene is resized. This is not required, but if you want to maintain the same relative position of the character within the Scene frame, you should retain the same aspect ratio. Otherwise, character will be re-positioned as best possible.

This had taken a bit longer than anticipated, thanks for your patience.

Let me know if any comments.

Best,

Gil

Yes - we deployed an update this morning that fixed this problem.

This issue was missed in our new HTML5 characters, now corrected.

Thanks for calling our attention to it!

Yes precisely so. We are looking into it - this will be addressed.

Got it. we're looking into it.

To hear what it is supposed to sound like try it here -

The JS API should sound the same.

Yes exactly.

You can also use them in the text entered in the UI when you create audio in the editor.

Hi JNJ -

You can't import voices - but you can get good results with pitch & rate adjustment by using SSML prosody tags in the text. They don't work the same way for all voices, best when used with engine 3 female voices.

Here are some examples - try these & let me know what you think.


1. Voice: Ashley - 3,1,6 <prosody pitch="+100%" rate="-5%"> My mom says too much chocolate is not good for you. So I won't give you any. </prosody>

2. Voice: Bridget - 3,1,4 <prosody pitch="+100%" rate="-5%"> My mom says too much chocolate is not good for you. So I won't give you any. </prosody>
3. Voice: Bridget - 3,1,4 <prosody pitch="+50%" rate="+5%"> My mom says too much chocolate is not good for you. So I won't give you any. </prosody>
4. Voice: Julie - 3,1,3 <prosody pitch="+50%" rate="-5%"> My mom says too much chocolate is not good for you. So I won't give you any. </prosody>
5. Voice: Julie - 3,1,3 <prosody pitch="+20%" rate="+5%"> My mom says too much chocolate is not good for you. So I won't give you any. </prosody>

Hi Tatjana -

I believe problems on your site have been resolved at the moment (as we interacted directly & on facebook).

Thanks for your patience.
