Here's what Philipp Kempgen wrote on this topic back in January. Nice summary, I believe.<br><br><br>Klaus Darilion schrieb:<br>

me tell you something about it anyway.)<br>

Didn't try them yet.<br>

<br>
Commercial (all others are free).<br>
"marilda female <span class="il">german</span>" doesn't sound very <span class="il">German</span> to me. ;-)<br>
Their web site is in English. I suspect they are selling to people<br>
who don't speak <span class="il">German</span> themselves and who could never tell if the<br>
files sound ok. Didn't give them a try though.<br>

These files are generated by our web-based text-to-speech engine.<br>
Pros: If you need additional custom prompts, just go to<br>
<a href="http://www.amooma.de/tts/" target="_blank">http://www.amooma.de/tts/</a> and generate them and the <span class="il">voice</span> will<br>
match.<br>
Cons: Some of them don't sound right - yet. (But you can go to<br>
the web interface any time and regenerate them with better<br>
pronunciation in SAMPA alphabet.)<br>
I know that some work is going on here to improve them.<br>

Professional recordings. About 5 prompts are missing.<br>
<br>
* 3rd option: Gabi plus :-)<br>
Download the ones we use for Gemeinschaft<br>

$ ln -s /usr/src/asterisk-sounds-de-<div id=":au" class="ii gt">trunk de<br>
The recordings are the same as "Gabi" but none are missing and<br>
they are in WAV format.<br>
=> This is what I use personally.<br>

Out of date. (2004, Asterisk 1.0)<br>
<br>

<br>
These happen to be the well known soundfiles released by Stadt-<br>
verwaltung <span class="il">Pforzheim</span>.<br>
Unfortunately they are for Asterisk 1.2 and the upstream is gone.<br>
(Stadt <span class="il">Pforzheim</span> doesn't have them on their web site any more.)<br>
<br>
<br>
=== AsteriskFreaks ===<br>
<br>
Don't know. A bit out of date (Jan 2006).<br>
<br>
<br>
=== Debian: asterisk-prompt-de ===<br>
<br>
That's the same thing as the Stadt <span class="il">Pforzheim</span> prompts. Out of date,<br>
upstream is gone.<br>
