Not being very happy with festival I would like ro get a better TTS engine. I looked at the listings at: http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+sound+files+international but I would like to get user input on suggested packages for Linux. Best performance vs. cost ???? Doug **************************** * Doug Crompton * * Richboro, PA 18954 * * 215-431-6307 * *

Hi, Has anybody seen a non commercial, or freeware, or GPL, or even CHEAP... POP/IMAP to Text-to-speech? I have a working version for POP3 using festival. It DOES work... it even cleans the email contents to get the actual content. It works great with Outlook emails and similar, and skips non multipart/alternative (that would be mainly SPAM, where the email is just

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.

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... URL:

I have a similar situation here, I want to include TTS in my asterisk IVR system. Could someone give suggestion(s) please, I prefer open-source thanks in advance! Chatila, A. C. P. O.

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 (

I am trying to use festival (latest version 1.4.3) I have downloaded all the files needed and patched it with the provided diff. festival does work and does tts fine. but when I call Festival either from an extention or an AGI script, I get this in my asterisk messages log, but no sound on the channels (H323 or SIP) - they (the clients) just say "trying" and then hangup...

Hi, How can I integrate Asterisk to Nuance TTS engine instead of Cepstral? Has anybody done this? How is the architecture and can Java AGI be used to communicate between them? regards, Vela Sivasankaran -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, For an organization welcoming turists (in France), I would be curious to learn about successful use (with Asterisk) of Text-To-Speech in spanish (and english). I took a look at Cepstral's web site and saw there 2 "Americas Spanish" voices (along a bunch of english voices). 1. In this context, according to your experience, is it acceptable to use an "Americas Spanish"

How do you get Cepstral working, they only offer windows versions. do I have to complie it to linux? http://www.cepstral.com

All, Has anyone seen this before? This appears to be a Swift or app_swift bug. I'm having a difficult time finding any information or support on this.

Hello-- In the interests of playing around and wasting time, I've installed the latest version of the Festival stuff, 1.95beta. And, in the interests of future Asterisk-Festival connectivity, I applied the 1.4.3 patch to put in the asterisk related routines. I did it by hand, but, it looks like the patch will apply with no comment. Asterisk works with the new server... BUT the speed of

Hello, I am having a Mac 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard). I have compiled and built Asterisk 1.6.2.9 and Festival 2.0.95:beta on my machine. Asterisk is working fine with SIP channels without Festival. I have written following context in extension.conf: [connect-to-me] exten => s,1,Answer Exten => s,n,SayDigits(?1?) exten => s,n,Festival(hello john) exten => s,n,Hangup I use call files to

Earlier this afternoon I had this working exten => 2890,1,Answer exten => 2890,2,GoTo(12) exten => 2890,12,Wait(1) exten => 2890,13,Festival('I can say numbers like') exten => 2890,14,SayNumber(1230001,f) exten => 2890,15,Wait(1) exten => 2890,16,HangUp I was so very proud of myself... All of a sudden after a reboot.... I get the following from the same call plan

Hi I have installed Festival on the same box as asterisk and followed the instructions to integrate it with asterisk. Festival seems to work fine on its own performing text to speech from the command line or via a file. Asterisk answers the call but there is no speech. I can see no errors in the Festival log file The asterisk console shows --Executing Answer("SIP/81801-c091",

Hello all, I have seen some chatter again about DTMF. I see most of the talk about DTMF around not being able to get an external IVR to recognize digits, not a big issue for me at this time but sill interesting. My issue though, is with talk off on a zap channel. It seems to be getting worse or maybe my patience is thinning. All my calls go out and come in pstn through an FXO as I do not

Ok asked this earlier with no response so I will phrase it a different way. I am sure someone had to deal with this and there is a "best way." I want to let Asterisk make the decision on best path based on local exchange - xxx-yyy - where xxx is one of my local area codes and xxx is exchange designator. The problem is that the list is rather large. Maybe 50-100. The idea is that I can

The one I like: http://www.rhetorical.com/cgi-bin/demo.cgi is toast. I think they went broke or got aquired by someone. Also, is there a Festival voice that sounds as good as Rhetorical or the AT & T stuff? The default one is barely legible. Since Festival is a little brutal to configure, I'd like to get someone's recommendation then go through the pain of reconfiguring it only once.
