Thanks - do you know the bit rate?

I'm trying to play these prompts with other voice application software, and
so far have been unable to.  I've tried: Windows Media player, Vox Studio,
Envox prompt editor  - no luck with any of these.

Cheers

Use sox to put it is MSGSM and a RIFF header on it. 
sox file.gsm -g file.wav


You need to do this because gsm takes 160 samples and compresses it to
32.5 bytes. On unix systems, they let the half byte go to waste. On
windows they slide a second frame down a half byte and combine it with a
first frame to put 2 frames into 65 bytes.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] .gsm voice format

2003-07-14 Thread Scott Stingel
Ok, thanks.

I should have asked this in the first place: what I'm really getting at is
that I need to record (or convert) prompts in many languages.  I have a
number of Windows based tools to do this.  I want to end up with prompts
that asterisk can play with the least CPU effort, ie. without transcoding.
Would this be the gsm format?  If so, it sounds like I should record in Wav
format, 8-bit samples?  How to convert to gsm?

Thanks again!
Scott

First learn sox, it will save you a lot of time dealing with format
conversions. Next record at 8bit 8k so that what you hear on the
speakers is the same as what will go out to the phone. Then realize that
if you record via PCM and let sox convert to whatever you like, you will
be well off.

The question about transcoding, if you are going to PSTN via a hardware
interface, then you might want to store your audio in alaw or ulaw
format, if it is VoIP then whatever codec you might use there, or again
alaw/ulaw so it is a one hop conversion.

It is possible to use Voicemail prompts in alaw or ulaw format?

Yes, just run through the prompts directory and let sox convert them.
You may wish to pull the gsm copies to make sure the wqv copies are
used.
