Does lip detection need a connection?

No, never. It is the feature that sets Axeho apart most: it consumes no external service and therefore costs nothing per use.

What is a viseme, concretely?

The shape the mouth takes for a sound. Two different sounds can produce the same image: that is what lets you change a word without the eye noticing.

Is the rate flagged when a line is too short?

Yes. A line that is too loose leaves a gap in the character’s mouth, and that fault costs as much as an overcrowded one.

Can I replace a word for one character only?

Yes. Pick the role in the band toolbar: search and replace are scoped to it, including “replace all”.

Detect the labials, adapt the text

The text has to fit the mouth, not just the sentence.

For adapters, dialogue writers

My mouth, your phrase, one frame

B P M labials
F V semi-labials
OU O U rounded
A É I open

The problem

A correct line that betrays the mouth comes back from the floor. The cost is not in the writing, it is in the retake.

Labials, semi-labials and open vowels are marked as you write, against a 77,288-entry lexicon shipped inside the application. No network, no account, no key.

The script editor: original version and adaptation side by side, editable timecodes, assigned characters.

The answer

Offline detection

The phonetic lexicon lives inside the application. Detection works in the booth, on a train, or on a programme that is not allowed to leave the studio.

Does lip detection need a connection? #: No, never. It is the feature that sets Axeho apart most: it consumes no external service and therefore costs nothing per use.
What is a viseme, concretely? #: The shape the mouth takes for a sound. Two different sounds can produce the same image: that is what lets you change a word without the eye noticing.

Reading-rate control

Characters per second are flagged both ways. A line that is too tight is a known problem; a line that is too loose is another one, and it usually goes unnoticed until the floor.

Is the rate flagged when a line is too short? #: Yes. A line that is too loose leaves a gap in the character’s mouth, and that fault costs as much as an overcrowded one.

Find and replace

Across the whole episode, or on a single character. Replacement only touches the text on display: never the field you cannot see.

Can I replace a word for one character only? #: Yes. Pick the role in the band toolbar: search and replace are scoped to it, including “replace all”.
