What is "CRI Clipper"?
Clipper is a lip-sync pattern generating system. Clipper analyzes waveform of voice and  automatically generates a time-series of symbols, which indicates a sequence of changing lip shapes. 
You will get natural-looking facial animation by substituting the proper lip pattern according to the symbols generated by Clipper. 

Automatic Generation of More Natural Lip-Sync Pattern
In the past, games used poor-quality methods such as generating random lip animations or animations based on the amplitude of the vocal waveform. 
And it's very time consuming and difficult for animators to manually synchronize lip patterns to voices.  Clipper handles such boring tasks automatically. 
Clipper's voice recognition technology and consideration of the motion of lips allows you to generate much more natural talking animation sequences.

Target Platform-Independent
Systems for facial animation differ from platform to platform. So Clipper outputs its result as a text file that includes the time of each phoneme and its corresponding lip pattern.
