I have done some updating to app_festival. Here are the changes in this diff:
1) Clean up messages - No longer uses WARNING messages for every little message 2) Fix documentation - intdigits wasn't actually supported and while interrupting Festival on digit press worked, it didn't actually retun the digit that was pressed. 3) Change behavior of command "Festival" to work more like "Playback" -- speech is no longer interruptable. 3) Add a new command "FestivalBG" that works more like "Background" -- it allows the speech to be interrupted and returns the pressed digit just like "Background" I am hoping that these changes will allow people to develop IVR apps more quickly by working as stand-ins for "Playback" and "Background" (or stream-file in AGI). The time saved not having to record stand-in voice prompts can be considerable, and after the application is complete, professional prompts can be recorded and dropped right in with very minor changes. Also, it may work better now for people actually needing to use speech synthesis in their IVR apps. Hope it helps! John
