Hello! I have developed an IVR using AGI and so far it works great. I'm using Cepstral voices, but now want to use the voices from AT & T that are on a Windows server to be heard best. With cepstral what I do is to generate audio files from shipping and this text I reproduce this method it has worked very well. Now, try to do the same by creating the audio file in windows with the voices of AT & T, the problem is that there is no way to synchronize the generation of the audio file and step Asterisk to be played, so it occurred to me to use FastAGI to generate all Windows and play in the same window the audio file generated. We buy Linux licenses for the voices but they are very expensive and already bought windows for another project. How do you think would be the best option? If you have another idea, please Tell me because I'm getting crazy with this and can not solve. TIA Edwin _________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[asterisk-users] AGI, FASTAGI or Windows Voice Server
Why don't you use sox to transform the windows audio file into the asterisk format - I do this with pretty good results. _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Edwin Quijada Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 3:59 PM To: Asterisk Asterisk Subject: [asterisk-users] AGI, FASTAGI or Windows Voice Server Hello!

Why don?t you use sox to transform the windows audio file into the asterisk format ? I do this with pretty good results. I did. But my problem is not conversion my problem is that I dont know how play the file from windows server or copy this to asterisk without my AGI continue and desyncronyze it. Can you explain me exactly what did you do /? Do you have something like this using AGI ? I use sox with good results too in windows. The problem is when create the file and convert it , how send to asterisk Edwin Jaws _________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was originally developed for Unwired Buyer (Ebay), I believe Digium and Unwired Buyer teamed up on this one. Another option would be FastAGI to your windows server. You write an app for the windows box that interacts with the AT&T application and then pipe the audio back to your asterisk box somehow. First thought is app_bridge or meetme.

I did using FTP. This is the problem and the solution that I did but doesnt work
1-When the call in to asterisk I play one prompt if this prompt doesnt exist I
create it2-In windows I have a program listen on a port waiting for request from
asterisk 3- I sent by this socket the text and name for the file4- In windows
server create the file and convert to 8khz using sox5- From windows try to copy
this file to asterisk using FTP protocol 6- There is no syncronize between AGI
script and copy to FTP 7- I did a loop to wait for copy of file to my sound
directory but it never happenned because it couldnt create the file 8- if I put
off the loop while (!existfile) { } so it can create the file in windows I
really dont know why this behaviour
My plan was so simple A server waiting request for asterisk and the copy this
file to asterisk to play itbut doesnt work, for this reason i am trying to do
everything using FastAgi in a windows server.

If you just need to transfer a file to a linux box, there are plenty of ways.
FTP, SFTP, TFTP, Samba.....
Thanks,

Just a shot in the dark, have you tried ExternalIVR? It was originally developed for Unwired Buyer (Ebay), I believe Digium and Unwired Buyer teamed up on this one. This option NO. Another option would be FastAGI to your windows server. You write an app for the windows box that interacts with the AT&T application and then pipe the audio back to your asterisk box somehow. First thought is app_bridge or meetme. This is the idea just I dont know how to do. You can give any direction to start first. I am looking for information about app_bridge*-------------------------------------------------------* *-Edwin Quijada *-Developer DataBase king *-JQ Microsistemas *-Soporte PostgreSQL*-www.jqmicrosistemas.com*-809-849-8087*-------------------------------------------------------* _________________________________________________________________ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

FastAGI will do everything you need. You just need to code the Windows AGI. BTW, #6 is incorrect if you code your AGI properly....
