Over the years I’ve seen many different types of virtual helpers, from the ill-fated Microsoft Bob to Clippy the Paperclip. I’ve been doing some research into avatars for dating sites and came across Oddcast. It’s straightforward to create an avatar, upload the text and have the avatar speak the text based on specific conditions. Other solutions exist, but Oddcast is the least expensive to integrate. Check it out for yourself.
