asterisk users - Feb 2004 - Festival: read text from external fil

Hello!

I wan't to use Festival for reading text from an "external"
textfile -
anyone that has a solution for doing that? I can't figure out how I should
be able to do that - if it is possible?

The textfile contains the temperature and will change every tenth minute -
and therefore I can't use "include" in extensions.conf.

Best regards, Lars

You can probably use the festival text2wave utility in a cron job to create 
a speech file from your source text and then use asterisk's Playback 
function to play it as required.
