Simple Instructions:

Setup Rhubarb:
Go to https://github.com/DanielSWolf/rhubar...
Download the latest release.
Extract all into somewhere safe on your drive, make note of the path where the rhubarb executable is.
In OpenToonz, go to File, Preferences... and select Auto Lip-Sync category.
Put the full path from step 2 into the Rhubarb Path box.
Close the Preferences window.

Mouths:
Draw your mouths in a single level, in OpenToonz.
Or import your mouth shapes (or head images with the mouth shapes) to OpenToonz:
Name your importing files as an image sequence (mouth.0001.png, mouth.0002.png, etc)
Drag one of them into your open scene in OpenToonz.
If they're named correctly, you'll see all of your mouth shape images in a single column, shown as 1 level.

Apply lip sync
Import audio (drag/drop into OpenToonz)
Expose your mouth shapes on the timeline
Right click on the timeline and choose Lip Sync, Apply auto lip sync to column
In the popup dialog, choose your drawings (draw them in order for them to already be selected)
Click Apply
