Miguel Grinberg's MAGPIE app is a boon to every independent animator who has to do everything himself--including sound reading (because he can't afford a sound editor and the traditional sound-read equipment he has to work with!).

But MAGPIE could also be a very convenient and productive tool for you even if your animation studio or project is organized along the assembly-line/division-of-labor setup.   Because if you commission us to do the initial bulk of the trackreading chore using MAGPIE and we deliver to you MAGPIE Lip Sync files, your animators can later further tweak the lip sync instantly using the MAGPIE application. 

For instance, if you want to see how the sync works using an actual character's mouth drawings, you can simply replace the corresponding drawings in the mouth library and the MAGPIE file for that scene will immediately playback the sync test movie using your new mouth drawings!  Or, you may want to see how the sync works with IB mouth drawings (we use only key drawings)--you simply add the IB mouth image files to the mouth library and assign them to the MAGPIE X-sheet window and presto, you can immediately play that back!
