Sorry there is no such program and i don't think there is ever likely to be in the near future either since what you are asking for would be an incredible achievement for a plugin.

I’ve heard of things like that (where you had to make the mouth shape for different letters (“O”, “I”, “E”, etc.), and it would animate the rest for you), but it’s not a plug-in for Maya.

Exactly John,

Doing something like that without any reference would be a massive, massive achevement, and probably would win you a massive award as well as a sack load of cash!

there is a studio in manchester that does have a software that can take a video of someone talking and then convert it to an animation, without markers, heres the link

https://www.image-metrics.com/

in the news section theres a demo of it, dosent really tell you much about how it works but I recon it might use hidden marcov models and fuzzy logic to "predict" the movements of set areas of the face using tracking via image porcessing software such as open CV, im starting using it to try to do some basic auto motion capture for uni.

The only way I know of that you can shorten the lipsync process is to create a blendshape for each vowel and a few consonants then morph to each vowel and consonant as needed with whatever word is required,unfortunately at present you have to spend the time making the blendshapes but once made the actual lipsync can go quite fast since you use the same shapes for every word in varying amounts .

This site might help you

Is there a reason you created another topic for this?
