SeeVoice Application: Video SMS

SeeVoice can visually enhance ordinary SMS by converting text messages into synthetic video movies, fully automatically.

SMS messaging is the most popular, and most common, mobile non-voice service today. But Operators and Service Providers, and their users can have much more than a simple text exchange here. SeeVoice is the platform for providing new multimedia services on basis of usual SMS.

User simply types a text message and just adds the indication of the avatar from service collection which he/she wants to deliver the message, and chooses a voice for it. And the recipient gets a synthetic video movie with the chosen avatar speaking the typed message.

To provide such a text-to-video messaging service, some third parties' Text-to-Speech (TTS) software must be integrated with SeeVoice. TTS generates voice from text, and then SeeVoice converts it into a movie with animated Avatar in its standard way.

The resulting message can be sent to recipient as an MMS or mobile e-mail, or downloaded via WAP/GPRS, etc.
