[Asterisk-Dev] Refined Voice CallerID Announce

[Shawn L. Djernes]

What about those of us who want the features and sound quality of a SIP or
IAX phone but can not see the display to read the caller ID?  I have been
looking for a way to have the Caller ID played to me before I get dropped
someone I may not want to talk to.  But have yet to see a way to get any app
but meatme to bridge the two channels of in progress calls.

I think the example shown should work but how do you bridge in the calling
party after hearing the caller ID info.

Are there still people unwilling to spring the extra 50 cents to get
caller-id on a phone? 

This isn't an applet. You are wanting to use festival to deal with the
fact that the caller-id text could be anything. 

In fact if you put it together, I might have to play tricks on you
sending unpronounceable text in the caller-id.
