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 =

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 pronounced as 2) ? I've tried looking at the ssml

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 (

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

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

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

Hi all, I hope that I'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

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:

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 !
