Realtime face animation with text to speech - possible ?

I have a client who needs a pretty simple face animated on a screen for a trade show. They want to have an 'operator' sitting behind a curtain, behind the screen, who will type in answers to questions people ask the screen.

The operator would enter lines or sentences and hit return, which would trigger the face to 'speak' the text.

Can Crazytalk do this? If so how best to set it up? I downloaded the trial and it is amazingly simple to animate the face - but I couldn't get to my real time requirement.

Many thanks,

Unfortunately CrazyTalk 6 doesn have a "live" mode. Any lip-synced vocals need to be processed first and a script created before it can be used in CT6. This can't be done live sadly.

Is this possible with CrazyTalk 8?

Not in CrazyTalk 8 but you can do live presentations and live streams using Cartoon Animator 4. See below for more information.
