Recent Matrox video hardware comes with a talking head feature, which
makes use of some of the special hardware. It's supposed to cater to
business wonks, who like looking at faces when talking (even though the
synthetic face doesn't offer the subliminal info they're looking for). The
lip movements are made from speech analysis, not video frame analysis.
I haven't bothered to check it out, as I basically never boot into
Windows.
