Yes it does sound considerably better, but what do I know I have a hearing loss. Anyway, have you managed to integrate this with asterisk successfully? If so how? use the generated output (wav presumably) and stream it via an AGI? Or does it have more direct asterisk connectivity? I had written a script that would snarf sitepal TTS data, rip the SWF to get the resulting mp3, transcode that to something more appropriate, and cache it for future requests of the same data. I called this script via a macro so it was trivial to specify a voice and text to speak in a dialplan entry. The whole process was quite trivial but not as system friendly as I like (too many fork and execs for my taste). Plus becuase the TTS engine runs on their systems there is noticable lag in actually getting the data - part of which appears to be their system is somewhat slow in generating the audio data, but in this instance free. I could of course do something similar with Rhetorical, even if its running on my own machine, but I just dont like doing it that way, it works, but seems wrong due to many wasted cpu cycles. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
