I would like to release prepaid application. But I have a small problem, we are using their Cisco prompts (nice lady voice) And I do not know if it is ok to release it.

It would probably be nice if you posted it to bugs.digium.com in experimental features or something like that. Kevin _____________________________________________________________ Are you a Techie?

User other sound files as props and make sure the scripts are there, so we know what to replace it with. Maybe someone can fund a recording with the Asterisk voice if the application is interesting enough. If you want it to be part of Asterisk after testing by the community, make sure you sign the disclaimer and fax to Digium. You'll find it on bugs.digium.com. You still have the copyright to your application, but give Digium the right to include it in Asterisk if they want to. Thank you for contributing to Asterisk! /O
Probably a good idea to re-record the prompts, to avoid intellectual property issues later on. Plus, you'll likely need to add more prompts in the future, and so you can have the voice match what you've already recorded. Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

You should _not_ include the prompts from Cisco. That is almost certainly a copyright violation. For a very low price, you can have Allison Smith (http://www.theivrvoice.com/) re-record the prompts, as she is the person that did almost all the current Asterisk vocalizations (except for the tt-monkeys.gsm file: that was me.)

Speaking of voice prompts, could anyone tell me why the pre-recorded prompts sometimes sound garbled, but the voicemail messages themselves sound fine? Is it the format of the prompts?

Who would like to do it ?I would be happy to test it for you but I'm not sure how much I would be able to help code. What language is it in? As I mentioned before, the best bet to help with the coding/testing would be to post it on bugs.digium.com. Kevin _____________________________________________________________ Are you a Techie?

Hello Bart. I have an experimental asterisk system. I have it hooked up to different technologies - MGCP, SIP, H323. I can work with you on this prepaid application. I could test it or enhance it. I am good with C, perl and shell scripting.

Companies are in business to make money. Not to give things away. When I have a problem with a piece of Cisco equipment, it is answered promptly and accurately, nearly 100% of the time. I have SmartNet on all of the devices for which I expect this service. Cisco documents are property of Cisco. Many of them require a CCO account to access, and there are varying levels of CCO access. Many "newer" technologies are initially available to all with a CCO login until their maturity and complexity reaches a point where Cisco makes a specialty for them, at which time those documents and new ones on the subject are sometimes no longer available to just anyone with a CCO login. Cisco also maintains and updates their documents on an as-needed basis. Storing copes of their documents on your own web site for public use defeats their ability to do all of these things. And if you want to argue that much of this is done just to charge you more money, you are correct. Cisco is an enterprise infrastructure company. Not a home user/home office/small office outfit where you can call up and talk to a 17 year old with a script for "help" when you have a problem. To get real support costs money. Example: Digium.
