Decision brief

TalkingHead is a JavaScript framework for real-time lip-sync with full-body 3D avatars in web apps.

Good fit when

For projects that require real-time lip-sync functionality using 3D avatars in browser-based applications
When integrating custom text-to-speech and artificial intelligence capabilities, such as GPT-3.5 or OpenAI's Whisper, for dynamic AI-driven avatar interactions

Avoid when

If the project requires real-time speech-to-speech features using OpenAI Realtime API due to high cost
For applications where WebGPU support is not available since TalkingHead integrates with other tools that rely on this technology
