Abstract
A system and method for animated lip synchronization. The method includes: capturing speech input; parsing the speech input into phenomes; aligning the phonemes to the corresponding portions of the speech input; mapping the phonemes to visemes; synchronizing the visemes into viseme action units, the viseme action units comprising jaw and lip contributions for each of the phonemes; and outputting the viseme action units.
