I haven't seen something like this, but if you figure it out, I'd like to know. There's a piece of software called HouseCalls that reminds people of appointments. The proprietary software prompts the person setting up the automated reminders to record each name individually. In the beginning, it's a bear, but over time, it gets better. I guess something in Asterisk would have to do the same, right? I mean, a general list of "John Jon Jonh" in some person's voice, and the rest of the prompt in another, wouldn't be much better than having Festival say the name, would it?
