So the "new-ish" built-in lip sync in Moho (Rhubarb?) works great up to a point. It's not perfect and still needs to be tweaked.
I seem to recall ages ago, there was a lip sync version for switch layers in Moho or Anime Studio that had a spot to enter the spoken text to improve accuracy very similar to Papagayo.
Did I hallucinate this? Is it still there somewhere I can't find it?
For now, I am still using that last version of Papagayo available. It produces fantastic .dat files and still works even on brand new computers and OSes. I would prefer doing it in Moho just in case Papagayo stops working. It is buggy as heck, but doesn't crash too much.

Hi heyvern!
That's a native feature. Open the layer settings for the audio track...

I believe it works with the audio settings for the Switch Layer and is probably compatible with Rhubarb, too. Coincidentally, I'm about to start a project using this feature, and will know more soon.

update! yes yes yes. moho lip sync is almost as good as papagayo. i started a project many years ago and used papagayo entirely and was going to stick with it but using moho is faster. i can still tweak problem spots.

Glad to hear it! Sorry, I forgot to post links to the variants of Papagayo. There's the original, a variation by a user here in the forums, and another one by Morevna Project, a group that also makes a variant of OpenToonz.
Papagayo Lost Marble (Original): https://lostmarble.com/papagayo/
Papagayo NG Morevna: https://morevnaproject.org/software/
Mystery Papagayo: ??? (Update: Found! See below for info.)
Sorry, I can't find the link for the last one, the one created by a user here in this forum. I usually bookmark useful links like these, but missed this one.
Man, I wish the search worked properly in this forum... it's been broken for way too many years now. And because the forum is mostly blocked by Google searches, I can no longer use it for deep searches forum either.
If anyone has a link to it. please share. Thanks!
