Thanks to all that responded. I've used app_swift as mentioned above and 
it suits my needs.


Thanks again

Sorry for not answering faster - was busy shoveling snow.

Once you've got app_swift installed, saying something
should be pretty close to:

AGI.Exec('Swift','This is something to say.');

And since it doesn't render to a file first you'll probably experience
less of a delay to say something.

 I agree completely with the app_swift suggestion from loopfree as Kai
 suggested.  It provides the app_Swift which you can use from within a
 dialplan.  In fact, if you're getting fancy by using a fastAGI bound
 language(as I'm doing with asterisk-java), app_swift becomes the only
 good option.

 slight rantI think Cepstral should be providing an app_swift like
 binding themselves because if you're writing an application which is
 going to use information from a back end business model in creating the
 speech (and this is something they seem to think is their future and I
 agree), then a high level language through fastAGI seems by far the best
 way to control the call.

LOL, I know.  The script was originally to show some of the standard 
language features supported by the scripting engine.  But then I started 
writing all the db access and cepstral examples and got off on a bit of 
a tangent...

Yeah, that is what mine does.  I'll take a look at loopfree code and see 
how it's streamed.

SSML can be used with Cepstral voices in Asterisk by simply embedding 
the markup into the input text.


what input text ? To what application ?



I wrote an AGI wrapper for Cepstral a while back.  It's a freepascal 
application.  There is a binary included along with pascal source:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=DTSwift%20Cepstral%20AGI%20Wrapper

There are also some good scripts available like this one:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/swift.agi

Or you can use the System() application to call the relevant shell 
commands for Capstal Swift application:

Stay away from app_cepstral, if you're Googling it appears to be an 
option, but it didn't work for me.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Cepstral voices

2004-12-07 Thread Anirban Chowdhuri
I have successfully used Cepstral voices with asterisk. I have had better
luck with integrating in by invoking Cepstral through at the command line
(rather than using the Festival command from within asterisk), then just use
the outputted file from your asterisk script. I have all of this automated
so that it occurs as a result of actions defined in my extensions.conf file.

Cepstral offers a fully functional download for you to test your
architecture - and I was able to get everything running before I purchased
the voice. The downloaded version has a clause at the end saying something
about demo from Cepstral.

Please clarify your question if you are pursuing a specific implementation
path, and I'll do my best to help.

You should familiarize yourself with the Wiki.
