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

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

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, 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

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 One and All, I am a Linux admin, new to asterisk. I have been assigned the task of setting up a dictation server for the company I work for. Our company is into transcription. Currently we are using dictation server, which is provided by another company. Now we have decided to have our own dictation server. I have installed asterisk and have gone through many documentation and

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

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

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, 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

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 !

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

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

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 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

Hello I Installed the Ceptral voices and Iam trying tu use the swift module with asterisk.

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.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here's one that may be of interest to any upgraders. If you rely on the behavior of gosub you may want to make note of this change. I have an incoming call context: exten => _XXXX,n,GoSub(incoming,${EXTEN},1(${EXTEN})); that is supposed to gosub into the incoming extension at priority 1. Versions before 1.6.0.6 would drop into the

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
