I've been thinking about this, and probably will do it sooner or later. Python by itself couldn't do it, but with the help of an external wave-analysis program, it should be possible. Python could select the point in the .WAV that corresponds to each frame in the animation, and call the external program to analyze 100 msec of the wave starting there. The wave analyzer could (minimally) tell Poser to open the lips more when the fundamental freq (voice itself as opposed to the hissing of sibilants)is stronger; it could also check the spectrum and shape the mouth toward rough correspondence to O or E. Anything beyond that would require manual tweaking, I suspect.
