Cepstral has some pretty decent quality voices at like $29 they don't break the bank. https://www.cepstral.com It also can integrate directly into asterisk I believe. Hope that helps John -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dakota Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 7:49 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Synthesized Voice for Asterisk Are there any cool free software I can use to create automated voice message greetings for my PBX?

Cepstral sounds great. You can test it for free but I will append some message about being free until you pay for the license. I will be purchasing a license shortly but the way I read it (could be wrong), the licensing is similar to g729 in that a license is only good for a simultaneous use.

I posted on the wiki how to use cepstral with weather.agi. I am no programmer so it is a hack but hey, it works great. I like William the best but I have only tried William, Diane, and David. If someone finds one that is better let me know. Thanks Steve> > I'll third this.... Cepstral is superb!

Also, you can apparently use Cepstral voices with Festival through a wrapper. http://www.cepstral.com/cgi-bin/downloads?page=other Festival Wrapper - This Perl script creates a directory called "cepstral_swift" in the current working directory for each voice directory named as an argument. When placed inside Festival's voices/ directory allows access to Cepstral Swift voices from within festival. Thanks, Steve> > I posted on the wiki how to use cepstral with weather.agi.
