<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cepstral seems to sound descent...But if you have
more than one voice installed (Example: different languages)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can't say it in realtime in the dialplan...I have
to do a little trick like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>exten => 1,1,System(/opt/swift/bin/swift -n
Diane-8kHz "Hello World" -o /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav)<BR>exten =>
1,n,System(sox /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.gsm)<BR>exten =>
1,n,Playback(swift)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When you show app cepstral in the CLI it says
you can do it like this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>exten=> 1,1,Cepstral(<voice name="William">hello
world</voice>)</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But it doesn't work for me trying to select the
voice in the Dialplan just tells me my voice is missing or corrupt...but if you
only have one in the voice directory it works fine...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But someone else made the
app_cepstral.so</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I could find a correct syntax that worked I
would change the source and recompile the module.</FONT></DIV>
