similar to: Getting app_cepstral to work with Asterisk 1.4.0-beta3

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_cepstral.so # I did this piece but wasn't sure exactly what part of the

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 ! Julian

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 can do swift "hello there" -o test.wav and then

I have searched and found a couple examples on how to put the app_cepstral.c into Asterisk but it isn't working. I obviously am not understanding the examples that I have found. "Copy the app_cepstral.c file to your asterisk source tree (apps folder) . You'll also need to add a lines like these to the Makefile in that directory: APPS+=app_cepstral.so" I added it into

currently, when using swift TTS engine with app_cepstral, generated audio is streamed to the channel. This means that a call to ceptsral operates like app_playback. I need the functionality of app_background. I'm thinking I have two options... 1.) use system() to call swift engine, create a temporary file, background() the temp file, and then delete the temp file. option 2.) write this

Hey everyone, I was frustrated with the existing app_cepstral/app_swift TTS modules I've found on the net, so I hacked up my own. It's been working really well for me so I thought I'd share. In developing this, I wanted to avoid: * the startup delay incurred writing TTS output to a temp file then playing it back * gluing cepstral/swift to the asterisk module in a way that fubard

I just got cepstal working fine in the dial plan using code like: exten => 511,5,AGI(cepstral.pl|Welcome to my house finder. At the beep enter your zip code.) The php script it calls is based on the nerdvittles weather one so it calls a webpage which prints to the screen, the nerdvittles code uses system to generate the .wav file then has the dial plan call it via: //php script $retcode2 =

hello Anyone know where I can download a copy of app_cepstral.c, or can anyone send it to me? I saw that it was available at http://www.automated.it/asterisk/ but the site isn't up. Thanks, jasonwolfe@bellsouth.net

Hi Shakeel, I had the same problem building app_swift (1.6..) myself and searched the web far-and-wide for a solution. I eventually contacted Darren Sessions -- who was maintaining that plug-in -- about a month ago. He was involved in another project and said he might be able get to it after a few weeks. But, since then, his website http://www.darrensessions.com/ has gone out of comission. I

Hi, I have tried installing app_swift on both mac os x and ubuntu now and am getting the same error. I must be missing something, as I have tried multiple versions and everytime do sudo make install i get: if ! [ -f /etc/asterisk/swift.conf ]; then \ install -m 644 swift.conf.sample /etc/asterisk/swift.conf ; \ fi if [ -f app_swift.so ]; then \ install -m 755 app_swift.so

With app_swift 1.6.2 + asterisk 1.6.1.12, I've found that if you enter DTMF during cepstral playback, the first digit of ${SWIFT_DTMF} is [un]set in an odd way. for example consider: 999,1,Swift(some long message that you dont want to wait for|5000|5) 999,n,NoOp(DTMF: ${SWIFT_DTMF}) if while I am listening to the playback, i interrupt and dial: - "12345", SWIFT_DTMF is set to

Hello list, I have been using Cepstral's 8KHz voices for my text-to-speech service for some time now, and have been noticing that the voice quality is really poor, doesn't matter what phrase I give it to convert. None of the other 8KHz voices I have ever used were this bad. It doesn't seem good enough system to be used in a commercial system. Is there any better quality text-to-voice

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

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 (

Hello. I'm trying to set TTS with Cepstral and Swift but can't get it to work. I get this error when testing it: -- <SIP/101-00000000> Playing 'welcome.gsm' (language 'es') -- Executing [702 at local-calls:3] Swift("SIP/101-00000000", "Hello this is ceptral") in new stack [Jul 28 18:29:16] NOTICE[5191]: app_swift.c:304 engine: Text to

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 available to me: localhost*CLI> core show application flite

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.
