Hi, I wanted to ask if it’s possible to use just the Convai avatar for speaking, where the avatar will open its mouth and sync lips to text or audio that I send from my own backend.
In short, I want to use it solely for speaking. This is for a school project. Thank you for your answer

Hello <@426118995738099712>

Unfortunately, this is not Convai’s use case.
However, you can enable the character’s speech using the InvokeSpeech and Speak tags.

Just to confirm, if I put something like I’ll say this exact line! inside the trigger message in InvokeSpeech, will the avatar say it exactly as written?

Yes
