Text-to-Speech in IVR

kouasimodos's picture

Hello,

Is it possible to add a Text-to-Speech prompt (from FLITE) in a IVR?
In the panel of FreePBX' s IVR Edit menu, there is the Announcement field, but this is only for pre-recorded messages.

Thank you

IVR Speech

You will need to go to the ADD Announcement tab to select your own recording. Your custom recording should be in the folder /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/custom and formatted to the proper .gsm extension. Once added you can put it in the IVR menu.


I do not want to off-line

I do not want to off-line create a speech file and insert it, but to dynamically add a text-to-speech command (e.g. say current time).


Read txt

Yes, you can do this. Do a search for 'allison' and 'flite'. You'll find a site where you will need to purchase the Allison txt to speech software for your linux box. You can buy multiple licenses to read more than one txt at a time in case your system is that busy. They provide demos that will help you decide if that's what you want and they also have other voices--but Allison is the standard.
