# Ania > Ania is a marketplace and toolkit for animated avatars that talk. An Ania avatar > lip-syncs in real time to your voice or to any AI voice, runs on your own device > (desktop player, browser, Android, React apps), can be generated by AI from a text > description, and can be woken by a custom wake word. Site: https://avatar.diatech.solutions Ania is built by Diatech (Brazil). The site UI is Portuguese-first with English and many other languages; prices are shown in BRL for Brazil and in US$ elsewhere. ## Key facts - Real-time lip-sync: voice detection and animation run locally on the device; no audio is sent to Ania's servers. - Avatar format: `.ania` — a frame-based character with pre-rendered states (idle, talking, greeting, thinking, yes/no, celebration and more; 18 states available). - AI avatar creation: describe a character, pick a style (Anime, Comics, Cyberpunk, Realistic, Watercolor, Ghibli-like, Arcane-like, Renaissance or free text) and the states; the price is quoted before any charge. Reference: a 2-state avatar at 480p is quoted at R$4.20 (about US$0.84). - Credits: prepaid, 1 credit = R$1; non-Brazilian users see a fixed US$0.20 per credit. - Custom wake words (e.g. "hey studio") for Ania Player and voice assistants: US$4.98 (R$24.90), English (en-US) or Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR); launch discount on the first wake word until 2026-12-30. - Marketplace: free and paid avatars; creators keep 83% of each sale (Stripe Connect); every listing is moderated. - AI assistants: remote MCP connector (OAuth) to quote, create, review and install avatars from an assistant; every spend needs the user's explicit approval and each connection has a monthly cap. npm package: `ania-mcp`. - Developers: `ania-avatar-react` (npm) and web components embed a talking avatar in any site or chatbot. ## Products - Ania Player — desktop player (Windows, Linux) that lip-syncs an avatar to your mic, TTS or an AI assistant's voice, with wake word support. - Hey Ania — Android voice assistant with a live avatar (APK). - Browser extension — avatar on any web page, with TTS, STT and AI chat. - Ania Creators — desktop editor to build avatars by hand. - ania-avatar-react — React component for developers. ## Not what Ania is - Not a cloud AI video generator (like HeyGen or Synthesia): Ania avatars talk live, they do not render presenter videos from scripts. - Not a face-tracking VTuber rig: Ania plays pre-rendered states driven by audio. ## Pages - English FAQ: https://avatar.diatech.solutions/en/faq - Comparison (Ania vs AI video presenters vs VTuber tools): https://avatar.diatech.solutions/compare - Marketplace: https://avatar.diatech.solutions/marketplace - Custom wake word: https://avatar.diatech.solutions/create-wakeword - Downloads: https://avatar.diatech.solutions/downloads - Guides: https://avatar.diatech.solutions/docs - FAQ (Portuguese): https://avatar.diatech.solutions/faq - Support: support@diatech.solutions
