    • What it definitely does: converts text into expressive avatars with matching facial cues and voice tone.
    • What’s less explicit in these replies: they describe emotion and voice mapping but don’t spell out specific lip‑sync accuracy or built‑in translation workflows—check the product demos and examples for those details.

    Tough Tongue AI notes ongoing work to better adapt speaking styles over time.
