To add something to a post of a few days ago on this:
 

We're just putting in an asterisk system and wanted to have our own messages. We're Asterisk and are not yet live but the following works.

Our PA simply has a list of the extract from extensions.conf as shown below, calls a number e.g. 8004, then hears a beep, says the message and
then clicks #. It then plays back the message. It took her about 2 hours to do all the messages. The benefit of your own voice is that company specific messages sound consistent. We've also changed some of the prompts a little to Anglicise them - e.g. hash instead of pounds key.
 
The messages go immediately into the gb sounds folder so are active immediately.
We've also done the same with digits, letters etc - the scripts put the message straight into the correct folder.
 
The macro is intended to be enhanced so as to allow the message to be just played and also, in the future perhaps to use festival to read what should be said. The message list is taken from the asterisk wiki page on sounds and we'd adding in a few company specific ones.
 
Send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "Sounds Request for Paul" and we'll end back the script once we have it done.
The benefit of this is it is easy to add new scripts and to amend one. The [record-messages] context can be included just for some users and even disabled most of the time.

[macro-record-message]

exten => 8005,1,Macro(record-message,invalid, 'I am sorry, that is not a valid extension. Please try again' )
exten => 8006,1,Macro(record-message,pbx-invalid, 'I am sorry, that's not a valid extension. Please try again. ')

exten => 8008,1,Macro(record-message,pbx-transfer, Transfer. )
etc
