Cepstral seems to sound descent...But if you have more than one voice installed (Example: different languages)
I can't say it in realtime in the dialplan...I have to do a little trick like:
 
exten => 1,1,System(/opt/swift/bin/swift -n Diane-8kHz "Hello World" -o /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav)
exten => 1,n,System(sox /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.wav /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/swift.gsm)
exten => 1,n,Playback(swift)
 
When you show app cepstral in the CLI it says you can do it like this:
exten=> 1,1,Cepstral(<voice name="William">hello world</voice>)
 
But it doesn't work for me trying to select the voice in the Dialplan just tells me my voice is missing or corrupt...but if you only have one in the voice directory it works fine...
 
But someone else made the app_cepstral.so
 
If I could find a correct syntax that worked I would change the source and recompile the module.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Text to Speech

Can someone recommend a good text to speech engine that is usable by Asterisk? I have tried the Festival one and it just doesn’t cut it for commercial applications.

 

We are willing to pay for a good one that works. Anyone tried the AT&T speech engine? The IBM ViaVoice sounds no better then Festival.

 

Thanks for your input.
