Audio Lip Sync Pro is a tool for animators and modellers to generate high-quality lip-sync animations directly from audio clips. All processing is performed locally, no account, subscription, or network access is (or ever will be) required. Buy once, own for life! Currently, it supports meshes with ARKit blendshapes inside Blender (via the Video Sequencer). Releases for Unity and Maya are coming soon!

Could you build this?

Partial While Blender add-ons are written in Python, offline zero-dependency ML audio-to-viseme/blendshape inference running natively inside Blender's embedded Python environment requires specialized machine learning and 3D rigging knowledge.

What it would actually take: Built as a Blender Python addon embedding an ONNX Runtime or torchscript engine alongside trained acoustic/phoneme recognition models (e.g. fine-tuned Wav2Vec2 or custom lip-sync network) mapping audio features to FACS blendshapes. The hard part is compiling and packaging the native inference binaries to run cross-platform purely within Blender's isolated Python environment while maintaining accurate shape key synchronization. Requires 3D technical animation and audio ML model deployment expertise.
