Q: Hi Ashwin, I’m looking forward to purchasing Vidboard for creating educational videos, and I have some questions.
1. From the demo videos on VidBoard’s YouTube channel, I noticed that many Pro Avatars speak with neutral or formal expressions. From an educational video perspective, it would be beneficial for the avatar's face to be pleasant and convey expressions. Are you planning to enhance this in the near future by allowing users to control the expressions or emotions of the avatars?
2. Can all or most of the Pro Avatars move their hands?
3. Will you be adding new Pro Avatars in the near future?
4. Will you be adding new half-body Photo Avatars in December/January?
5. Can I export voice-only MP3 files that allow me to use Vidboard for TTS purposes? If it's possible, what's the character or word limit per audio file?

Hope you are well
Here are the answers
1. All Pro Avatars can move their hands
2. Yes from time to time we will add new pro avatars. Ofcourse we would. :)
3. Yes we will be adding a few half body avatars in December/January. We will also give you the opportunity to create your own half body avatars if you buy Tier 2 and above
4. Avatar enhancements will happen as technology optimizes and becomes affordable. We are a bootstrapped entity and want to remain one. We have been working at it since 2020 and whatever you see today is our own hard work. We continue to strive to provide any affordable options to all our paid users.
5. As of now you can export Mp3 files. For now its 1000 character per file. We will increase it in the future. Updates happen regularly. We do this because if we get carried away, the usage increases substantially in a day and its take a toll on our servers. Hence there would be gradual increase. When we started it was 150 characters, now its between 800 to 1000 characters.
Hope my replies are helpful. Good luck
Thank you for the prompt responses, Ashwin. I can feel the hard work behind such a great project. I appreciate you and your team for your efforts. Take care and have a good day!
Thank you Jay. Appreciate your kind words.
