The pioneering new speech modelling and audiovisual voice synthesis start-up Dynalips has been officially launched. Resulting from research work at Loria (CNRS, Université de Lorraine, Inria, CentraleSupélec), subject of a maturation programme by the Société d’Accélération du Transfert de Technologie – SATT Sayens and supported by the Incubateur Lorrain, it provides animators and video game developers with an innovative lip-sync solution for the precise, automatic and rapid synchronisation of a 3D or 2D character’s lip movements with speech.
In this digital age, the security of information exchanges is vitally important, especially for electronic voting.
