Hi Dev Support,

It would be nice to extend the built-in visemes or allow for easy extension, UI and Python as well.
This would be a nice enhancement for iClone 8.1, released soon, right?
Currently, iClone has 16 and AWS Polly (that's also incomplete) has 19, and Azure Speech Service has 22 (that should be practically complete).
And just wait until you add the Hungarian language!

Thx, Ivan

I think there is limited rate of return with additional visemes.

The big improvement in iClone came with AccuLips, when text with used to improve the assignment of the existing visemes. In addition, the face itself is animated, not just the mouth.

Currently, rather than additional visemes, it would be great if additional languages were added to AccuLips.

Thank you for your suggestion.
Currently, iClone8.x has no plans to let users define their own viseme.

If there are still users who have this demand, we may consider adding this feature in a future release.

OK. Understood.
Then I suggest just nip it in the bud and implement the missing ones in iClone 8.1, so we do not need a tool to add 6 more.
Go with 22 like Azure Speech Service (that should be practically complete).
