A brand new lip-sync technology letting characters achieve smoother and more accurate lip-sync results. Save a massive amount of time when animating character dialogues. AccuLips detects and extracts text and viseme from audio, or imports a prepared script to for precise lip-syncing. Create natural speak with the co-articulated design, and further fine-tune every viseme and strength level. AccuLips sources from an English dictionary with 200,000 entries, with the ability to add new words, and modify existing entries.

*Only English is supported for iClone 7.9.
