Lip sync AI

We’ve all seen lips move out of step with sound. Old dubs. Glitchy streams. It’s distracting enough to ruin the moment. That’s where Lip Sync AI steps in.

Getting speech to match faces

Lip Sync AI listens first. She breaks speech into phonemes—the smallest sound units. Then she lines those up with mouth shapes. Coders call it alignment. We call it keeping voices and lips in sync.

Why phonemes matter

Think of “bat” and “pat.” Just one phoneme difference changes meaning. If her timing is off by even a fraction, the mouth looks wrong. So she runs fast checks, adjusting frame by frame. The closer the match, the less our eyes complain.

Animation on top

After alignment, she moves to animation. Mouth, jaw, cheeks—tiny motions stitched together. We don’t need Pixar-level detail, but we do need believable cues. Good sync makes even a simple cartoon feel alive. Bad sync makes it unwatchable.

Tools we can use

We don’t need a Hollywood pipeline. Simple models can map audio to visemes (visual phonemes) and drop them into existing rigs. That’s enough to prototype games, chatbots, or teaching apps. Test it the same way you’d test a website—get someone to watch, ask if it feels right, fix what doesn’t.

A coder’s thought

We like when machines try to keep time with us. She’s just learning the beat.
