Introduction
3-D Talking Animated
Characters
for PowerPoint®
Welcome to Vox Proxy!
Vox Proxy is a user-oriented authoring and playback system for scripting 3-D talking animated
characters and other advanced multi-media features in Microsoft PowerPoint® slide shows. For
authoring, it works with PowerPoint 2000 or newer. For playback, it works with any version of
PowerPoint as well as the free PowerPoint 2003 Viewer.
Though a PowerPoint add-in, the Vox Proxy menu appears in PowerPoint and allows you to
create and edit your scripts side-by-side with your slides. Scripting is click-simple with Vox
Proxy's comprehensive Script Writer and Script Wizard.
Vox Proxy works through scripts that are saved in each slide of the presentation file. We give
you some basics about scripts, and an introduction to character speech and animations. An
extensive reference section provides details about each Vox Proxy script command.
Previous users of Vox Proxy should check out What's new in Version 3.
To get started quickly, look at the step-by-step Guide to your first script.
For information on playing your Vox Proxy presentations on other computers, read about the
Vox Proxy Player.
Vox Proxy's optional CD Prep feature lets you create self-starting, self-contained CDs that you
can distribute royalty-free. The CD's will play on most Windows computers from 98SE on. Each
CD will contain the Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Viewer, so PowerPoint is not required to play it.
Additional, highly animated characters are available on our web site at www.voxproxy.com.
Click on the character gallery and look for the extra-cost characters.
Vox Proxy uses Microsoft Agent technology and the advanced application development tools of

The Vox Proxy Player
Purpose
The Vox Proxy Player is a set of software which allows other users to play Vox Proxy-enhanced
PowerPoint presentations without having to purchase Vox Proxy itself. The Player software can
be installed on any computers running on Windows-95 or newer. Remember, however, that
the Player is designed for people who do not have Vox Proxy. Do not attempt to install it on a
computer that already has Vox Proxy installed. If the user does not have PowerPoint, the Vox
Proxy Player will run on the Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 Viewer.
