Animation

Rapport is powered by Speech Graphics’ award-winning audio-driven facial animation software.
Unlike most solutions, Speech Graphics uses audio-driven technology to match sounds to muscle maps to increase the accuracy of animations. Emotionally expressive animation is achieved through non-verbal/speech animation such as breath, blinks, eye darts, and head motion.
Currently, facial and lip synch animations are automatically driven by audio. We are working on body animations that are also driven by audio. For other gestures and animations, we have an in-house team that can help.

If you want to use your own dialogue solution or custom AI that does not have an integration in Rapport, you can enable this by sending the chatbot messages to a Rapport project set up with an 'idle' configuration. The 'idle' configuration gives you full programmatic control.
Contact us for our handy guide on how to do this.
We currently have integrations with a number of different solutions. But if your preferred dialogue solution, TTS or STT provider, is not listed in the platform, please contact us to discuss integration.
Add your ElevenLabs account key to Rapport, and you can add the custom voice in the custom voice field. Preferably use the voice ID; but you can also use the voice name. If you use the voice name, make sure you write it exactly as it is saved in ElevenLabs.

There is no cost to create and test projects on the platform. Costs are incurred for deployed Rapport experiences through a usage-based pricing model. The costs are shown on our pricing page.
