PhotoSpeak for Android takes a still photo from your phone’s image library or the camera, shoots it up to the cloud and delivers a startlingly realistic animated 3D avatar based on the pic moments later. Japanese development firm MotionPortrait created the mobile image manipulation app. Which can be programmed to speak what you say by simply recording your voice and the 3D avatar speaks back in a parrot-like simulation. The features don’t stop there as the avatar is interactive; swipe the screen and it follows your movement and even blinks too.
