Hi, I'm using Cepstral as a TTS Engine for Asterisk with Swift application. It works fine when I have just 1 voice installed. Now I have 2 voices in the same language installed but I can't seem to find the way to select which voice to use in Swift's application in Asterisk. Does anyone know?? Thank you, Pim

Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for getting the linux version of cepstral voices working with Asterisk. The cepstral site states that the voices work with asterisk, but I haven't been able to find anything with google or in the handbook on this. Thanks in advance, Bruce

I'm about to begin working on an ivr project to do database backed scheduling. I would like to use text to speech in some places. What are the differences in using festival vs. Cepstral? How are they similar, how are they different? Is one really better than the other? How and Why? Thanks, Eric -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

what's the easiest way of using cepstral voices with asterisk ? On their website, in the ssml page (http://www.cepstral.com/cgi-bin/support?page=ssml), they say "Asterisk PBX SSML can be used with Cepstral voices in Asterisk by simply embedding the markup into the input text." what input text ? To what application ? Thanks...

Hello all, I am trying to get cepstral to work with Asterisk for Text to Speech purposes.

Can someone point me to a page about writing a text file to call an external number and play a TTS with cepstral? I know it includes the creation of a .call file but beyond that im a bit lost.

We are having some major problems with app_swift since we went live. It is regularly segfaulting. I don't know if this is my fault or not, but here's the story: Installed the cepstral voices (at the time, 4.0) on our test system (2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp) and later added some extra voices (now 4.2). All worked fine - we stress tested (20+ simultaneous calls). Move to live ( 2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp) . Installed the cepstral voices (only 4.2). Started having problems with only 5 calls:...

Hi All, We just bought a sip based PA setup here with the intention of hooking it into our existing asterisk (1.4) setup. It works as expected when I dial it's extension, but I want to have system generated speech played based on some action (using cepstral, which is already installed and working). My first thought was to DIAL to the extension, and then have cepstral play the audio. The problem with this is (of course) that once the dial connects, the sound doesn't get played until after a hangup. My next thought is to create a conference call b...

Hey all, After figuring out a problem with AGI and freepascal, I have finished writing a small Cepstral (http://www.cepstral.com) AGI app. I wrote a small readme for it at http://www.datatrakpos.com/misc/dial/readme.txt. I'd like to give it to the community (source/binary) and was wondering where to post it? The wiki? Also, anyone have suggestion on licensing? LGPL? FreeBSD? Thanks --...

...'m not breaking protocol too much by posting a message in this group about a problem that I'm having with an Asterisk Business Edition installation, but the reason that I'm posting here is because the problem that I'm having isn't really with the Business Edition, it is with the Cepstral text to speech product that I'm using with it, and also because this group has so much more activity that I'm really hoping that somewhere in this great Asterisk community there are some clever people who might have some good suggestions to help me improve the voice quality on this system....

I'm expirimenting with Cepstral via swift.agi. It loads w/ no problem, but there is a fairly long separation between words -- almost as if it is processing one word at a time, rather than stringing a phrase together. When I run cepstral with a similar script, but not through an actual call from asterisk the separation bet...

Does anyone have any idea on how to force cepstral to convert a number to speech ? I have noticed that sometimes it speaks the number correctly, and at others it doesn't. 1) 787 is pronounced 7-8-7 2) 123 is pronounced one-hundred and twenty-three. 1) is wrong for what i need, 2) is perfect. Is there anyway of forcing numbers to be pronou...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a license for Allison-8kHz and two concurrent port licenses that I purchased from Cepstral at the end of last year. I just got around to installing to my * 1.6.0.10 machine. I've decided that the best way for me to integrate the two would be res_cepstral, which I downloaded and installed. Everything is fine, except the register program, which is looking for a license key sent from...

Hello, I recently purchased the Cepstral 6 text-to-speech engine (swift), and am now wondering if I should have bought something else. I would like to use Cepstral text to speech like some people use the Festival() or Flite() applications. For example, when I do a "core show application flite" at the CLI, flite is availabl...

I downloaded Cepstral to my Asterisk Box. I did the install and let it install to /opt/swift. I brought down a new CVS-HEAD as of today 10/1. I added APPS+=app_cepstral.so into the Makefile in /usr/src/asterisk/apps/Makefile Like: # Obsolete things... # #APPS+=app_sql_postgres.so #APPS+=app_sql_odbc.so APPS+=app_ce...

Some of you may know me as ManxPower from #Asterisk at irc.freenode.,net I've posted my demp weather report Asterisk AGI script at http://www.fnords.org/~eric/asterisk/downloads/ I have no affiliation with Cepstral. Below is the README: Contact: Eric Wieling <eric@fnords.org> If you want a demo of this AGI script you may call via IAXtel 1-700-923-3645 extension 2101. Option 23 is for Festival and option 31 is for Cepstral. Feel free to explore the other options. A directory of options is option...

Hi All, Recent discussions on app_cepstral on the list have led me to believe there's some issues with Asterisk 1.4 I set about creating a small howto for people to get cepstral, with app_swift working. Check it out: http://www.voipphreak.ca/archives/354-Asterisk-1.4-Gentoo-CepstralSwift-Howto-using-App_Swift.html Thanks, Diwelf

Hi all, i'm trying to integrate cepstral and asterisk, and i have a problem i'd appreciate any help with (i know it's a bit tangential, but i figure this is the place with the most knowledge of app_swift and asterisk). I've installed swift from cepstral.com with alison's voice, and it works fine, from the command line i ca...

Greetings, I've recently upgraded from Asterisk 1.2 to 1.4. I've been searching for a solution, but am also trying the easy way at the same time. I've now got David of Cepstral now speaking using app_swift from http://www.mezzo.net/asterisk/app_swift.html . The problem is, he sounds way worse than he did when it was asterisk version 1.2. I'm seriously considering either rolling back, or having to run a 1.2 instance connected to 1.4 via iax. What info would you al...
