Developed by Oddcast, SitePal enables small business owners and Web masters to generate speaking, animated characters called avatars for their websites, particularly on pages where visitor conversion rates are crucial. The avatars feature either text-to-speech generated audio or are linked with a voice recording, provided by the user or created by Oddcast staff.

"Uplinkearth, with its largely small business customer base, is a company we look forward to working with for many months and years to come," says Adi Sideman, CEO of Oddcast. "As the Web continues to grow more competitive and interactivity on pages becomes even more crucial to maximize monetization, we are confident that uplinkearth's small business customers will see the incredible value that speaking avatars bring to any website."

Uplinkearth customers will have free access to SitePal's basic avatars without any obligation or time limit. They can then decide whether to upgrade to enhanced versions of the product for an additional charge.
