Decent quality, supports mainly English. There is support for flite (http://www.festvox.org/flite/) available as a 3rd party plugin : http://zaf.github.io/Asterisk-Flite/ Quality at par with festival, much easier to setup and use, supports only English. Also support for espeak (http://espeak.sourceforge.net/): http://zaf.github.io/Asterisk-eSpeak/ Average quality, supports a wide range of languages. -Free plugins/scripts that provide TTS from a remote not-so-free service: GoogleTTS : http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-googletts/ Great quality, lots of languages, free of charge but NOT suitable for any serious/commercial use. It is not a service Google officially provides but just a hack that gets synthesized speech data from their translate page. It's more suitable for testing/developing and home use. MsTTS: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-mstts/ using Microsoft's Translator voice synthesis engine. iSpeech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-ispeech/ using iSpeech API (http://www.ispeech.org) -Other non free solutions: Cepstral: http://www.cepstral.com/en/telephony/asterisk Speech Technology Group: http://www.asteriskexchange.com/listings/1001 -Regarding the STT options: Google Speech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-speech-recog/ the API is limited at the moment in something like 50 requests/day and considered a technology preview. iSpeech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-ispeech/ Lumevox: http://www.lumenvox.com/partners/digium/asterisk.aspx Sphinx: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/asteriskdetails Vestec: http://www.asteriskexchange.com/listings/113 Regards, Lefteris Zafiris
