Hello, Is there anyone who has ever done a setup of VoiceXML combined with some licenses from Nuance for the ASR/TTS engine within Asterisk ? I'm currently working with VoiceGenie, for the VoiceXML + ASR/TTS engine, but we are having a couple of issues which I guess are caused by VoiceGenie. If there's an alternative, it would be very interesting for us. Thanks, -- Eric Rousse

I have a customer looking for an automated way to provide his customers information. He found some windows software called Active Call Center - but I believe that he did the 40 day trial and it crashed his windows machine to much. So he wants something that can do a similar task running on linux. The Users expierience should go something like this One of his customers calls in the IVR asks

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.

Why hasn't someone found 50 people who sound alike, put them in sound studios and record the 10,000 most commonly used words. You would all differnent forms of the 1,000 most words, i.e. leading, trailing, question etc. You can synthesize the other 0.05% when you run into them.

Many of you are familiar with how lousy Festival sounds. AT&T has a product, NaturalVoices, that sounds much better. There are male & female voice fonts for US/UK/Indian English, French, Spanish, and German. I am considering offering a linux-based text-to-speech engine based on the NaturalVoices runtime. An asterisk module would also be provided, making it easy to add natural sounding

Ok, let me first explain why 5ms matters, even they are 0's, in my particular application. I am working on a speech synthesis system. The basic idea is concatenating pre-recorded phonemes or words into longer sentences. So any missing or extra samples, even it is as short as 5~10ms, cause very noticeable discontinuities. I want to use speex to compress/decompress those pre-recorded

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, Andras, Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am aware of those issues. I probably should have been more accurate on my usage of terms. Actually in my project, the unit collection is a mixture of diphones and words. However seems to me, these synthesizer specific issue is irrelevant to my question about speex. As you said, i merely use speex as storage methods. All I ask for is to get the

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...

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, is there anything going with VoiceXML in asterisk??? is this the list to query regarding this or should I put this on the dev list? thanks, dave cantera

Hi Reed, I've been using Speex to transmit TTS for years. It works very well with no tweaking. I use Microsoft TTS ("Microsoft Mike") with Speex at 16kHz wideband and VBR quality 6. Sometimes I forget that the sound is even coming from another computer and being compressed+decompressed. If anything, TTS seems easier for Speex to deal with than real voice. But I don't

Hi to all, I am sending a SIP REFER message to Asterisk from a VoiceXML application using the <Transfer> element to do a Transfer through Asterisk. I need to know if Asterisk supports the full features of the SIP REFER message because if i set 'bridge=true' in the <transfer> element of the VoiceXML application to supervise the call, Asterisk sends a NOTIFY message with

Anyone know of anybody doing VXML with Asterisk and/or Linux? Tia Kevin

Does anyone know of a speech recognition module (like say yes or no, or numbers) I guess due to the complexity of speech recognition it might just be found in commercial applications or am I wrong like always? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just and FYI. In RPM form, works on 4.x and I will try on 5.x too. Speech is tacky, but if I can get something but the Gnome Festival synthesizer, maybe it will improve? http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=BONRM -- Bill

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

Asterisk v1.0 is running on RH 9. I installed festival RPM (festival-1.4.2-16.i386.rpm) and edited the festival.scm file to add: (define (tts_textasterisk string mode) "(tts_textasterisk STRING MODE) Apply tts to STRING. This function is specifically designed for use in server mode so a single function call may synthesize the string. This function name may be added to the server safe

Hi All, Do any of you know what the status is for VoiceXML support in * ? Is it already existing, or is it planned for the future? If it's not in now, do you know on what type of scale the work would be to integrate VXML into * ? Thanks in advance
