asterisk users - Jul 2005 - Read Back Caller ID Using Number Announcement in Digital Receptionist

I would like to setup an option in my digital receptionist that callers
can select to hear a read back of their Caller ID. It would be something
like, "the number you are calling from is...". I think I can reuse the
festival script that is built in, but ideally this could be accomplished
without using festival because Allison's voice is so much more pleasant.

I'm just a few weeks into Asterisk (*@H 1.3 / *1.0.9) and primarily
using AMP and am just unsure how to include this in the receptionist /
auto attendant. My technicians can use this to call in and hear what
number they're calling from, now that Bell South changed all their ANAC
numbers.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Just downloaded and installed Intel's IPP transcoder for G.7231 and
G.729 . However, once I am done with by Build.sh, I get the output
g723encoder and g723decoder binariers on my bin folder. No
codec_g723.so single file. What am I missing ? What should I change on
Makefile ?

Go edit your auto attendant menu and add an option. Set this option to
call a custom app named "custom-saycallerid,s,1"

Go in Maintenance->Config Edit. click on the file
"extensions_custom.conf". In this file, at the end, add this code

[custom-saycallerid]
exten => s,1,Playback(yourcalleridis)
exten => s,2,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => s,3,Hangup

N.B.: you will have to make a sound named "yourcalleridis" or you
could use festival
