It would be nicer if you record a prompt before asking for the zipcode, but it's not strictly necessary. You can paypal me the cash to my email. The legitimate license for AT&T Natural Voices is more than $20, and nothing built into Asterisk for free is going to give you free-form text-to-speech.

It's conceivable that the combined effort of these two responders required less than ten minutes of time, yielding a theoretical pay rate of $120/hour. I wonder how much effort went into the other responses. That will be $6 for my commentary, please.
