This task has been automated, so you can try out different images quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support for React, Angular and Vue Frameworks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using NPM packages it is now a snap to integrate SitePal in your web project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Audio Playback Limits &#8211; Removed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No more 90 seconds limit! Assign multiple audios to your Scene to be spoken in sequence. Or \u2013 if you are using the TTS API, you can now feed in text as long as you like. The 900 character limit has been removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New Tutorial Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our new \u201cGetting Started\u201d tutorials are short (8 and 12 minutes respectively) but are jam packed with useful info and tips \u2013 and get you on board in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>No-Javascript\u201d Embed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now publish your SitePal to those pesky blogs or CMS or LMS systems that do not permit Javascript code. Yes \u2013 for real!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subtitles Now Supported<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add text subtitles to your speaking character, in any language. The character &amp; the displayed text conform responsively to the available space!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speech Recognition Integration Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speak to your SitePal character \u2013 and it responds. How cool is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With full source code available \u2013 you can build your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3<\/strong><sup><strong>rd<\/strong><\/sup><strong> Party Integration &#8211; Pandorabots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Integration with Pandoarabots intelligent agents is now built-in. Just add your PB api key to your SitePal account \u2013 and your speaking character will be connected to your Pandorabots smarts. Now that\u2019s intelligent! (with more integrations to come)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New User Interface<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new user interface improves usability and clarifies all aspects of SitePal use \u2013 as so many customers have told us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And&#8230;. we&#8217;ve not even mentioned the <strong>huge cast of new characters<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>we&#8217;ve added this year.
