SitePal from Oddcast is a cool feature to have on your website. It allows you to talk to your website visitors through an animated character... you can use text-to-speech or your voice (record by phone, or upload a file).
Now, to help proliferate their service, Oddcast has created VOKI... a free version you can embed into your (personal) website, blog, or anywhere else. You can use animated characters (aka, 'avatars') to
- welcome website visitors,
- describe your product, service,
- narrate real estate listings or detailed specs
- read answers to FAQ,
- and anything else you can imagine.
Characters are full customizable to look sort of like you. SitePal offers more customization and even Your-Own-Photo-realistic service (for a fee of course). Voki mentions:
"Can anyone use Voki? Voki is solely and exclusively for personal, non-commercial use only. If you run a business website where you sell things or you run a site about your business – a real estate agency, for example – then Voki is not for you. We have a product called SitePal that costs a small monthly fee for business class users."
I created this in less than 5 minutes (click to view). Does it look me? I used text-to-speech... Voki: Can't beat free!
