Features
Everything CAQA Avatar does.
A complete presenter studio: avatars from a description, a photo or a recording, any script in a voice your learners know, captions, and permission on the record.
Presenters made from a description
Need a presenter today? Describe one. The studio draws photorealistic options of a person who does not exist, ready to speak.
- Describe age, appearance, clothing and manner in plain words
- Choose the setting: office, training room, workshop, clinic, studio, home office or outdoors
- Choose the framing: head and shoulders, chest up, or waist up with hands in view
- Four options each time; keep as many as you like
- Shows nobody real, so no permission is needed
An avatar from one photo
A single photo is enough. The studio finds the face, frames it like a presenter shot and brings it to life.
- One clear photo facing the camera
- Automatic framing for wide, tall and square video
- A closeness control to sit the camera nearer or further
- Advice straight away if the photo is too small or the face is turned away
- Permission is recorded before the avatar can be used
An avatar from a short recording
A short video of someone talking to camera gives the avatar both their look and their voice.
- The clearest, most front-on frame is chosen automatically
- The voice in the recording is copied so the avatar sounds like the person
- Works from a phone video
- The original recording is kept with the avatar
- Permission is recorded before the avatar can be used
Any script, in a voice your learners know
Type the words. The studio speaks them in an Australian library voice or in the voice of one of your own people, then the presenter says them on screen.
- A library of named Australian voices, female and male
- Voices of your own people, added with their permission
- Every sentence of the speech is checked against the script before it is used
- Or supply your own recording and the presenter will say exactly that
- Lips, face and head move with the words
Shape, manner and framing
The same presenter can deliver a course welcome, a safety briefing or a social clip.
- Wide 16:9 for courses and slides, tall 9:16 for phones, square 1:1 for feeds
- Manner: natural, warm, explaining with gestures, energetic, or serious and steady
- Standard and high picture quality
- Optional extra direction in plain words
- Another take whenever you want a different performance
Captions and accessible delivery
Captions come from the script itself, so the words on screen are the words you wrote.
- Captions shown on the video, or supplied as a separate file
- SRT and VTT caption files for your learning system
- Clear, levelled sound on every video
- An optional small label saying the presenter is computer generated
Permission, on the record
Copying a real person is a serious thing. The studio treats it that way.
- A permission register: who agreed, how, and until when
- An avatar cannot be used until its permission is recorded
- Withdraw a permission and the avatar stops working straight away
- Permissions can carry an end date and lapse by themselves
- Every finished file notes in its details that the presenter is computer generated
Private by design
Cloud avatar services need your people's faces on their servers. CAQA Avatar does its work on computers CAQA owns.
- Photos, recordings and scripts stay on CAQA's own computers in Australia
- No outside avatar service is involved
- No minute meter, no credits and no watermark
- As many presenters as you have permission for
