Hi, Richard,
I would avoid this esp. if customer has to pay for a call. Many
customers would disable this feature if it were present because it is
quite dangerous. It would be more efficient to put a record into a
centralized database where vendor can collect, see and read all the
relevant "w

Hi Vicktoras,
This situation is actually just the opposite of what you mention. This
is a case in which a record is generated on a computer at the vendors
site (perhaps 20 times per day), but the vendor doesn't monitor his
computer. This vendor normally takes all his orders over the phone or i

You didn't mention which platform, but if they are on Mac you can use Skype
and AppleScript. Obviously as they will be calling a land line they'd need
credit in a Skype account -

Hiya,
If you're ok with calling Java, these were found on SourceForge:
http://freetts.sourceforge.net/docs/index.php
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boss-synth/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtts/
If you want speech recognition: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/

Cheers,
Luis.
Kay, Sarah, Martin, Luis:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll review each one and post the results at
some point.
Best,
Richard

Oopps. I thought that this was as simple as using Audio MIDI Setup to feed
the speaker output into the mic input, but unfortunately you
I've been working with Skype and Applescript to address this issue.
Here's what I'm doing so far (which is close to working, but not quite
there):
tell application "Skype"
activate
set theScript to "My script"
set theStartingTime to current date
send command "CALL echo123" script name theScript
Kay,
Thanks for these suggestions. I appreciate the time you took to long
into them. I'll follow through them.
Best,

Kay,
This company you pointed to (www.telemessage.com) looks like it might
have a decent solution. It's more expensive than Skype, but not too bad
at 10 cents per call. Their XML solution should work in Rev on a Mac
server. But I would like to get the Skype solution working if possible.

Thanks, Robert. I just tried that on my home (land line) phone from my
cell phone. A message came up asking if I wanted it converted to voice
for 25 cents. So it looks quite possible, but considerably more
expensive than telemessage (which is 10 cents per call). I'm not sure if

As you have been investigating Skype, I am sure you will have come across

Yes, this rings the computer rather than the phone, but may be a solution

My guess is, you are using a "non-standard" (in Rev's view) sampling rate
for the audio. Revolution prefers "standard
Skype requires the 16 bit/16k/mono/PCM format. There's no option on
this. But I'm getting closer to solving the problem, having figured out
where Skype requires the audio file to be placed. Thanks for your
suggestion, though.
