Introducing the Script Page

The Script page is the critical phase in CrazyTalk's process of creating a talking image. Here you decide what and how your model talks and specify the expressions, facial movements, and special effects that go along with the animated script.

You can select speech from the template scripts or you can create your own. The script for the talking image can be imported from a WAV audio file, recorded from a voice recorder, or converted from a text message by the built-in text-to-speech converter. You can also import a WAV file to be used as the background music along with the talking message.

Note: You can download the text-to-speech converter from Microsoft, or browse to Reallusion's website for more information.

You can select an expression profile to apply a set of voice and facial expression attributes accompanied by expressions and gestures. In addition, you can add more specific facial expressions, movements for the eyes, head, shoulders, and lips to create a very realistic talking model.

CrazyTalk provides Motion Clip feature. You may compose custom motion clips and apply them to any project.
