[asterisk-biz] Pre-recorded first and last names audio database

[John Vogel]

Thanks for the suggestion, Dean

I've tried ATT Natural Voices
(http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php) and Microsoft Speech
Server just to see how the current state-of-the-art TTS performs. They do
fine with easy names like "John" and "Smith" but even something as simple as
"Martinez" gets mangled (accent on the wrong syllable).

In general TTS seems to work better on first names (which tend to be
shorter) then last names.

Regards,
John
