Has anyone tried integrating Asterisk and Rhetorical's rVoice software? We're evaluating different approaches to system announcements via T2S. Has anyone gone down this route that could give some advice? I've installed festival and wasn't too impressed, the demo one the website seems far better quality and clarity then the defaults in the source package. However I must admit I've not yet figured our how to change the voice, and I'm sure the quality could be improved on (in which case, does anyone know how to switch to the Male British voice?) Any advice or guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

I'd love to hear how you get on Ben, but I get the feeling that Rhetorical's software prices are out of the reach of most people here. I think integration of this would be a very good move tho. Quite frankly Rhetoricals tts is the best I've heard so far.

Hi all Does anyone have any experience with an E1 Channel bank connected to Asterisk. I know form an earlier post that Orion telecom and Valiant Telecom make them. But does anyone know if/how well they work with Asterisk.

I took a look at their site and played some of the demo's - can I have any comments from Asterisk users? How did they get on with it and what is the general opinion of the quality etc? This will be used for a major service line that reports faults and outages across a network.
