Of course...doing it this way also...kind of negates the need for
app_cepstral.so being loaded...can just use Playback or
background...whatever...
Thanks again though...verified my idea on what I would need to do.

Has anyone used Cepstral for text to speech before? I am testing the demo
and it seems to take about 20 seconds for the speech to start... On a

Thanks,

Don,
I have been using Cepstral for about a year now and it has worked very
well.
It starts speaking almost immediately. You definitely know it is a
computer
voice but thats okay for my application.
The following is swift.agi that I found on voip-info.org (I cant remember
the
author or I would credit him here, my apologies.) The last line documents
how to use.
##############################
#!/bin/sh
#Assign the value sent from the exten=> line to "$text" so it can be used
below
text=`echo $*`
#Set $stdin to something
stdin="0"
while [ "$stdin" != "" ]
do
read stdin
if [ "$stdin" != "" ]
then
stdin2=`echo $stdin | sed -e 's/: /=/' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/$/"/' -e
's/=/="/'`
eval `echo $stdin2`
fi
done
calleridnum=`echo $agi_callerid | cut -f2 -d\< | cut -f1 -d\>`
calleridname=`echo $agi_callerid | cut -f1 -d\< `
/opt/swift/bin/swift -o /tmp/$agi_uniqueid.wav -p
audio/channels=1,audio/sampling-rate=8000 " $text "
#Now, tell asterisk to play that file
echo "stream file /tmp/$agi_uniqueid #"
#Read the reply from asterisk to our command
read stream
#Clean up our mess and delete that file
rm /tmp/$agi_uniqueid.wav
exit 0
##### exten=> s,1,agi(swift.agi|This is some text\, which needs to be
converted to speech.)
##########################################
I have used this (on a very low call volume obviously) on as low end a
machine
as PII 400 with 512 meg ram.
Hope this helps
