Audio stream is the blood life of the VHOST Studio. An Audio stream limits the VHOST Studio since only a certain number of audio streams can be used annually. The VHOST Studio comes with 5 million audio streams. One Audio steam equals to an avatar saying one audio message (a message of 90 seconds). So the thought of creating many banners and putting it on different places on the website with these different avatars (or even the same avatars) saying something different to each member/guests that sees it will increase the usage of the audio stream. The audio steam is like a cell phone credit you use when talking, when it nearly runs out the administration tool has an alarm that triggers a warning signal to replenish the audio stream. To add more audio steam will cost USD 2.00 per 1,000 audio steams.

Even though there is a limitation of audio streams usage, the VHOST Studio allows us to control and limit the process that triggers each audio stream usage and allocating it only to important events. Thus allowing customization on the banners logics only to be used on a certain event triggered by a person with a certain criteria e.g. members who have visited the site for the first time this week.

The VHOST Studio is also useful since it can be used not just to create a talking character banner inside the website (for FAQ, Training, e-guide – for the purpose of conversion and retention) but it can also be used as a talking character banner on other partners website (affiliate banner, Macro Partner banners – such as Yahoo & MSN Advertising for the purpose of Reach and acquisition) which will definitely increase the chances of a click through (Traffic reach).

The VHOST Studio comes in with an additional plus point since it can be upgraded to include the VHOST Artificial intelligence which when used, the company programmer can create a logical conversation path tree, which will predict the questions of the members/guests and answers with the correct programmable format. For instance, the member types in “ hello how are you “ and the avatar says back in return, “im fine thank you” since the conversation logics have been programmed this way. This added facility will cost USD. 4,000 which comes with already 40,000 different conversational entries.
