MACERICG  I'm pleased to see a stand-alone Mac product that provides many of the features of online services such as www.speechagents.com or www.sitepal.com.

You have the start of a great product. I would purchase (and suspect many others would, too) if you were able to offer a few other features found in these other online services:

1) Flash export of animation. (Would be much smaller than video files, anyway.)

2) Ability to lip-sync with real, spoken recordings. (Mac voices sound so dated -- It's as if I'm listening to an old 'Speak-N-Spell.')

3) More ambient movement than just the blinking of eyes. The slight turn of the head, ability to nod or shake "no" -- all would greatly enhance the experience. SitePal has this down to a science, were the character's head and eyes actually follows the cursor once the dialogue is finished.

Again, great work. Hope to see more.

THOMAS HAYWARD  Does what it says very effectively. It would be nice to see a couple of extra features: how about the ability to scale the talking heads? It would also be nice if the animation were smoother.
