**Original Discord Post by bobbybay | 2023-12-05 09:20:10** Hello, I’m trying to build a way of getting the convai character to output a pre-recorded .wav file with lipsync. It currently works by generating text to speech and playing it back. But I can’t get the OVRLipSync to work with pre-recorded audio files. Any ideas? Thanks a bunch! **Images:** ![image.png](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/convai/original/2X/7/752f4874b66c37b358a9975da4eca8ab2049a493.png) ---

**Reply by freezfast | 2023-12-05 09:49:59** Hi \<@728120809712779315\>, we currently do not support lipsync with pre-recorded audio / text to speech function at the moment. However, after updating to our latest plugin you should be able to use `Invoke Speech` instead to get the character to say what you need him to say. cc: \<@808164597050638367\> for a quick guide ---

**Reply by bobbybay | 2023-12-05 09:57:15** Thanks \<@365628745886859267\> . I assume Invoke Speech is still using the API / an internet connection to do the text to speech? I was looking for a solution when the application loses a connection to the internet for whatever reason, as a fallback option. I’ll look into the invoke speech whatsover. Is the plugin updated on the GDrive link too? Or only though the Epic Marketplace? Thanks ---

**Reply by freezfast | 2023-12-05 09:58:29** I see, it is updated on both and we no longer use ConvaiOVRLipSync, \<@808164597050638367\> will refer you to the corresponding guides ---
