I'm using the SayNumber() app to read out a users balance for an IVR.
Is there a way I can do that while waiting for DTMF input?
Obviously, read() and Background() don't correctly say a number in number
format.
Thanks,
Doug.

I'd personally love to see SayDigitsBackground, SayNumberBackground, SayAlphaBackground, etc. or even better, the ability to put numbers in the filename parameters to the Read application, such as: Read(some-variable,your-account-balance&is&%123%&dollars) (Obviously I just chose the percent sign as an arbitrary delimiter there, but you get the idea.) -- Jared Smith Training Manager Digium, Inc.

It would be an extremely useful new feature to have, but as fair as I know, is not currently available. -- Russell Bryant Senior Software Engineer Open Source Team Lead Digium, Inc.
