i vote for yes, since that will be able to stream any chars.<br>I also can adapt the code with you Steve, like i did many months ago.<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 3/15/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Murphy

<br>enhancement, Digium will pay for the recordings, and include them in the<br>core release, along with finishing the code enhancements, in at least<br>the trunk.<br><br>The bug is 5208, an ancient enhancement request, submitted in Sept 2005,
<br>basically requesting that SayAlpha be expanded to include stuff like<br>"semicolon" (;) and "colon" (:), and a series of others. This will<br>require a few changes to the SayAlpha routines, and a small boatload of
<br>new sounds.<br><br>As the bug discussion went back and forth, the list of new sounds grew<br>to:<br><br>(symbol) phrase (en)<br>(:) colon<br>(;) semicolon<br>(_) underscore<br>(,) comma<br>
(|) pipe<br>(\) back-slash<br>(%) percent<br>(~) tilde<br>(^) carot<br>(&) ampersand<br>(() left paren<br>()) right paren<br>([) left square brace<br>(]) right square brace
<br>({) left curly brace<br>(}) right curly brace<br>(<) less-than<br>(>) greater-than<br>(') single-quote<br>(") double-quote<br>(?) question-mark<br>(`) back-quote
<br>(#) hash (for the en-GB crowd)<br>(#) pound<br>(*) Asterisk<br><br>Mogorman actually got all these recorded last year in English, but at a<br>lower sampling rate, and they don't meet standards any more, and will
<br>have to be re-recorded.<br><br>If the vote for this addition is positive, I offered to have the<br>translators into French/Spanish specify the extra characters that are a<br>part of those languages, and the extra phrases that would be necessary
<br>to record to be able to speak them.<br>(You know, like é, and suchlike).I would spend some time and update the<br>SayAlpha code to make these work.<br><br>The rub is that the sounds will cost Digium several hundreds of dollars
<br>to record, and that doesn't count the time that it would take to update<br>the code to use the new sounds. Is it worth the effort?<br><br>Rather than burden thousands of folks with your vote by replying via the<br>
list, please just send to me personally, and I'll tally the results and<br>report back in a few days. I don't want to squelch any useful discussion<br>about this issue tho, and if you have something to say, go ahead and say
<br>it. Heck, I didn't even need to say that, did I? ;)<br><br>murf<br><br><br>--<br>Steve Murphy<br>Software Developer<br>Digium<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by
