I don't want to be a party pooper either, but the product you mention
(a timeline editor for morph targeting) does NOT do what is being
discussed. It requires that I set keyframes manually, by inspecting
an audio waveform. That's a perfectly respectable approach, but we're
talking about software that would automatically parse phonemes, set
keyframes and select models. I suspect it'll be a little while before
you see something like that in the nooks and crannies of VTU.
