Introduction

The Microsoft® Agent Character Editor enables you to compile character animations for use with Microsoft Agent. You can define animations by importing Microsoft® Windows® bitmap images, setting their duration, and optionally including branching, sound effects, and speaking overlays. For information about designing a character's animations, see Designing Characters for Microsoft Agent.

With the Agent Character Editor you can define the character's name and description as well as output options, including text-to-speech (TTS), synthesized voice output, pop-up menu support, and the character's word balloon design.
