hi again, i finished the UI part i hope u like it
the WORKFLOW changed a bit, so here it is again:
1.export the file from papagayo as voice file
2.open your blend file containing the character you want to lipsync
3.rename you mouth shapes to the corresponding phoneme ( AI, O, E, U, etc, L, WQ, MBP, FV, rest)
4.save your scene
5.copy the lipsync_importer.py file to the addons file
6.start blender and go the preference -> addons -> enable lipsync_importer, you’ll find it in the tool shelf
7.now select the voice file set the offset frame
8.change shape key value (how much your lipsync will be pronounced)
9.set ease in and out curves (how smooth your lipsync is)
10.press plote keys to plot the animation keys
i’ll do a video tutrial on the script very soon 
for any bugs report here in this thread, an error msg from the consol would be helpful
any ideas to improve are welcome
