Software development kits - SDKs

Inovani's animation engine can be provided as SDKs in C++ or Java.

PC and PDA applications: C++ and C++ with JNI interface

The C++ SDK is integrated with Text-To-Speech software (TTS). At present we have integrated with many different TTS, e.g. Acapela Group (Bright Speech voices), Loquendo (all voices), Cepstral, Microsoft Speech SDK and others. Such integration is available in C++ and C++ with JNI wrapper. For Loquendo and Cepstral, WinCE/PocketPC/SmartPhone versions are also available.

This SDK can be used to create stand-alone PC and PDA applications. You will need to get your own license for the TTS from the vendor(s).

Web and Internet: 100% Java SDK / Applet

The 100% Java SDK is created for playing ready made animations and/or be used in distributed systems. In the distributed version, the Text-To-Speech part run on a server that is accessed by talking head components ("FacePlayers") over the internet. See the interactive demos.

The advantage with the Inovani technology is the low bandwidth needed to deliver the animation (mainly compressed sound) and the ability to create answers and replies real-time.

This SDK is well suited for web-sites that wants to have talking heads as "web-hosts" to deliver their message and/or include dialog robots that can answer questions from the users. It can also be used to implement Chat solutions where each chatter is represented by their favourite talking head.
