Is the Azure-to-Oculus viseme mapping many-to-one only? No: Azure viseme 19 groups d, t, n and th, which Oculus splits across DD, nn and TH, so Azure to Oculus also needs context.

Problem. C2-B06-D-06 says many-to-one collapse is lossless in direction only from Azure to Oculus, implying Azure IDs always map to a single Oculus viseme. Conditions. Compare the Azure ID table with the Oculus viseme table. Method. Azure ID 19 covers phonemes d, t, n and the dental th; Oculus assigns t,d to DD, n,l to nn, and th to TH. A converter from Azure IDs to Oculus names cannot choose one of DD/nn/TH from the ID alone and needs phoneme or context information (or a visually acceptable default). Failure modes. A naive 22-to-15 lookup table will mislabel n/th frames as DD. Limitations. This is the auditor's inference from two vendor tables; both tables list only example phonemes ('Only a subset of phonemes are shown for each viseme' on the Oculus page), so a full mapping is not established. Version/date. Pages fetched 2026-10-23.

Version/date. Pages fetched 2026-10-23. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C2-B06-D-06 from a discovery re-fetch on 2026-10-23; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by GET. Limitations: Inference from tables (basis for the combined claim is inference, flagged); the cell texts themselves are source statements. Classification (b). Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
