Abstract
Systems and methods for viseme data generation are disclosed. Uncompressed audio data is generated and/or utilized to determine the beats per minute of the audio data. Visemes are associated with the audio data utilizing a Viterbi algorithm and the beats per minute. A time-stamped list of viseme data is generated that associates the visemes with the portions of the audio data that they correspond to. An animatronic toy and/or an animation is caused to lip sync using the viseme data while audio corresponding to the audio data is output.
