Depreciated Voki Flash Editor
Hi,
Is there any place I could find the old free edition of the Flash editor? It had a significant feature I used to play around with, that being the ability to resize and move a character within the scene. I haven't found anything that can do this in the HTML5 editor. Alternatively, since I'm assuming the distribution of a swf file might cause legal issues, what's stopping that feature from being added to the HTML5 editor?
Hello!
That's a great question.
In designing the HTML5 Voki editor (several years ago now) we had settled on a certain set of features - and correctly or mistakenly it was thought that movement and placement of the Voki character within the Scene frame was not necessary, and does potentially lead to problems. In an effort to "keep it simple" and concentrate on the core functionality - we decided as we did, with each Voki character centrally placed & scaled according to that character's unique design.
I would not rule out a reversal of this decision, but, since the HTML5 Editor was launched, I believe this is the first time that this issue has been raised by a customer.
To answer your question more specifically - the Flash editor is deprecated and we cannot make it available (even if we did, browsers are on track to stop supporting Flash later this year).
We do offer a speaking character product for business use which does offer this and many other features not available in Voki - not sure if relevant for your needs, but please do check out www.sitepal.com.
I hope this makes sense.
Best regards,
Gil

Duplicate profile for assignment
Hi! Is there any way to duplicate a previously created profile to an assignment?
I let my students create a profile before I made an assignment and now I don't want them to have to create a new one if possible.
French words with accent are not properly saved
Hello,
I have tried sending an email to support at Voki several times and received one response which wasn't helpful, I teach in a French school and my students are trying to type their text in Voki. Once they save it, any French word with an accent turns into a weird symbol and the avatar can't read it. I have used Voki for the last several years and have never had this problem. When the support person emailed me back he said most words in French don`t have an accent and to ignore those words. Worst. Advice. Ever! Almost every word in French has an accent. We need to evaluate this project and have been waiting almost 2 weeks for help. I have sent the letters with the accents I need added twice and no reply.
Please help!
Rachel -
This issue has been addressed. I'm sorry it caused you inconvenience.
All so called "special characters" (eg characters with accents) should now be handled correctly in French and any other language.
Please let me know if you notice any problem.

Gil
Hello Nahla -
The Avatars themselves & their appearance is completely independent of the voice that you assign to them.
As we all know - it is impossible to know what language/ accent a person (or animal/robot/unicorn :-)) speaks just by their appearance. In the same way, our Voki characters can speak with any voice you choose to assign to them.
Hope this helps,
Regards

Hello!
Voki is designed to appear online in a web browser. But it is also possible to download as a video from the Voki mobile app. You may want to give it a try.
Please note that this is only supported for teaching purposes. If you are interested in animated character video for commercial/business purposes, our SitePal product supports that -pls see www.sitepal.com
