Welcome to PyLips’s documentation!
PyLips is a Python-based interface for developing screen-based conversational agents. It is designed to make developing socially assistive robotics easier by providing a simple, expressive, and customizable framework for developing conversational agents.
PyLips is easy to install, simple to use, and open-source. It comes ready to use with your system’s speech synthesis tools, and uses other free and open-source software for turning these sounds into facial expressions. Check out the Usage section for installation instructions, or fork me on Github.
