[Asterisk-Users] Festival questions

[Chris Albertson]

I was working on something like this.  There are a few
isues:

(1) First off yes you have to have access to the tesxt of the
e-mail.  Notice the word "test" we don't want html or
MS word atachments.

(2) Next look below nice al the silly junk like quotes are
indicated by >> marks.  This has to be converted.
The the "ascii art" in the sig line.   OK this is not hard
just a whole bunch of Perl scripting or if you are really nuts
like me try lex/yaac to define an "e-mail grammer"
There is much to be done here basically we are building a
"script" that any reader (human or machine) would be able
to read into a telephone.  The BEST format to use a voice
markup language not plain text.  Festival can read the
markup language

(3) Finally you spimply scrip it and run it on as command
line application on _many_ test emails and listen.

(4) assuming #3 above is done integrating it into * is very
easy.  One interrresting idea would be to automaticaly
drop email into voice boxes oruswer could us a menu tree


If anyone seriouly wants to work on the above isues please CC
me directly about it.  Im my opinion most of the work is
in #2 which would be implemented outside of the * code base
as a stand alone application.
