Yeah that that endorphin  is truly Awesome
but at some point you have to stop endlessly looking of some holy Grail 'Computer does it all " software and dig in and learn what you have to the fullest in the most cost effective way

Im not saying this  Zign Track thing is completely  useless but for the
$119 cost you may well spend a mere  $20 on ** mimic light ** which gives you the same functionality as the built in Mimic function in Daz studio  if you need to export lipsinc to poser.

And learn your graph editor and dope sheet to add the subtle nuances
of a speaking character.

Here is a very quick lipsinc I did just minutes ago in Daz Studio
PROJECT 2501

I added in  an animated pose(PZ2) ,I developed for another project ,
on top of the lipsinc for body gestures
Not to brag but I think these basic"roughed out" Untweeked results are much better than the ones You see in the Zign Track poser demo.

There are plenty of viable options  for complex character/lipsinc animation for poser/DAZ users .

One must be willing to take time to learn what we already have instead of forever Chasing down often ovepriced miracle  solutions. JMHO
