That's why I told myself : I'm waiting too much from doc ? is a pure-IP platform too specific ? what is the official policy ? README starts with check hardware compliance. So maybe, the policy is to have a somehow functional system with any of mentioned compliant hardware, with all enhancements such as running as non-root, set apart. As I'm not very familiar with module concepts at the moment, I told myself it would be helpful, if strictly following instructions included in README files, I did get a system that starts without any ERROR message of any kind and still could provide some basic telephony services. So my question is : - is there a policy fixing the target of README files ? Yes, please submit fixes. - for example, if someone installs Asterisk (according README files) on a platform equipped with a Digium analog board, should this board be automatically discovered, configured and ready to run ? Not yet: # which modules to load: a temporary workaround That's the point : if optimizing modules load could be postponed to a later stage, that would be better, IMHO, as installing from source is already a long process. modules here referes to DAHDI (kernel) modules rather than Asterisk ones. It refers to an inherent limitation of Zaptel/DAHDI - the order of hardware discovery sets the order of channels. However fixing this is not trivial to say the least. So let's leave it aside for now. It's not really something you care about if you just have a single card, anyway :-) # dahdi_modules is a simple two-liner scrippt that is currently not # installed by default. I figure I should get that functionality added # to dahdi_genconf dahdi_modules /etc/dahdi/modules /etc/init.d/dahdi start # generate /etc/dahdi/system.conf and /etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf dahdi_genconf dahdi_cfg # edit chan_dahdi.conf accordingly. e.g.: echo '#include dahdi-channels.conf' /etc/asterisk/chan_dahdi.conf # apply changes: start/restart asterisk, or: asterisk -rx 'dahdi restart' IMHO, setting a policy would help to guide efforts of many people involved. That done, maybe we would conclude an interactive script would be the missing piece to incorporate user choices that are hard to default to. The above procedure is not a policy. The fact that a configuration can be generaed automatically without manual fine tuning indicates to me that it should be. Currently I'm looking into ways of doing so (and still allowing simple manual overrides). I hope that generally running dahdi_cfg on each span separately on each span at post-registration would do the trick, but this still takes exposing information through sysfs or whatever. As a side note, I would rather avoid interactive setup scripts as they tend to be complicated to automate and force you to keep feeding the same selections again and again. Sangoma's setup script is, IMHO, an example of an interactive script that requires an expert, and takes a heaps of screen space. Not to mention changes a half the system to fit its grand plan.

[asterisk-users] Persistentmembers (Not working with restart)
Hello All, I currently have an Asterisk Box, running a callcenter with 04 queues. I set queues.conf with persistentmembers=yes in the general section as follows: [general] monitor-type = MixMonitor persistentmembers = yes However when I perform any kind of restart in the Asterisk application, all agents are considered unavailable after that. Though when performing reload, agents keep their status as it was before the reload. Is there any where else that I should set dynamic agents as persistent members to keep their status after a asterisk restart??

Oops! Didn't mean to start a fire here. I meant to say illegal copyrighted material. Also, if they are using up hundreds of Internet connections, we can see that. It essentially causes a Denial of Service situation for other users on that leg of our wireless network. The system supposedly has rate limiting, but seems to get overloaded when someone goes completely nuts with BitTorrent. We are working on ways to limit the number of simultaneous connections. When we get a copyright infringment notice from our upstream provider, we are compelled to reprimand the user. I don't think we have sent a customer to the shower even if they had several notices. Net Neutrality is great in principle. But ISP's need to somehow control those few percentage of users who suck down a huge majority of the bandwidth. It's dollars and cents. Es tut mir leid für das Durcheinander meine Brüder! This is the classic logical fallacy that people seem to perpetuate when reporting news about P2P activity. ISPs oversubscribe. It's a common practice, and reasonably valid. But when you oversubscribe, you use a model based on 'projected' use of the available circuits and bandwidth. If you have a user who pays for a circuit that you've advertised as an X Mb line, and he uses X Mb ALL the time, he's using what he's paying for. If you then proceed to tell him that he can't do that, you're either wrong or you're not being up front enough with your pricing and marketing materials. You can't then proceed to blame the customer for use you did not anticipate. Imagine a farmer who sells tomatoes. He's promised you a bushel, but he gets a harvest of only so many. You walk up to the counter just after he's sold all of his tomatoes to someone and he tells you Sorry. There are no more tomatoes because that customer before you just 'stole' them all from you. He's abusing his privileges by buying up my whole crop. Now whose fault is it that you don't get the tomatoes you want? Is it the customer's fault for buying all the tomatoes the farmer sold him? Or is it the farmer's fault for selling them? The same works with the ISP vs P2P argument. If the ISPs were up-front about saying that they do not intend for you to actually USE the bandwidth you think you're paying for, I would say they had a leg upon which to stand. However, hiding this information from the customer and then blaming the customer when he does what he believes is well within his rights... it may play well in the media, but it's bad for the whole system and is incredibly divisive.

I can get caller's channel id (with built-in CHANNEL variable). I found BRIDGEPEER but its value remains unset (see bellow) even inside connect2fax routine (in which I would like to re-direct both channels : incoming channel to let caller hear you successfully sent a fax and outgoing channel to get fax content) : context mylocal { _2X. = { NoOp(Calling ${EXTEN:1} from ${CALLERID(num)} using ${CHANNEL}); NoOp(Peer is ${BRIDGEPEER}); Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,U(connect2fax,${EXTEN},${UNIQUEID},${BRIDGEPEER})); Hangup(); }; }; Any idea ?

Re: [asterisk-users] CDR Design
On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 3:26 PM, Steve Murphy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Everyone-- I've just made some major changes to the CDRfix2.rfc.txt file in http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/RFCs to accommodate the Leg approach instead of a channel-based approach. Hi murf, I've got a couple of points (as always) from the new design. First one would be the generation of CDRs when putting a call on hold. I don't think that should occur. When a call is put on hold Asterisk never changes the endpoints of a call all it does is possibly change the media to one or both of the call ends. CDRs are about call endpoints not about media transitions. In SIP terms putting a call on hold is no different to changing codecs both operations are re-INVITES and are irrelevant as far as CDRs and billing go. As far as internal calls vs external calls go I would argue that Asterisk can distinguish between them. Any call initiated with the Dial (or equivalent) app is an outgoing call. Anything call request arriving at Asterisk from the outside World is an internal call. For a standard call from a SIP user there are two call legs; the incoming call leg to Asterisk and the outgoing call from the dialplan. For a DAHDI user there is only a single call leg being the outgoing call from the dialplan since providing dialtone when they pick up the phone is not a call leg. I guess it's not really relevant for the CDR design but it's actually not a difficult thing to cope with when writing a billing engine for Asterisk, I know as I've done it. I like the new CDR fields. My number one concern would be to get the CDRs accurate but additional useful information can only help as long as it used the right way, i.e. not treated as definitive for billing purposes. For the linkedid and ideally the uniqueid I reaally think it would be vastly more useful to use a GUID or UUID rather than a incrementing sort of unique id. A lot of use are dealing with CDRs by writing them to databases and it would greatly simplify and improve the robustness of billing if Asterisk CDRs could be categorically be indentified as unique. If we need to know which CDR came first we can use the calldate ther is no need for the linkedid or uniqueid to double up for that. I'm not to sure about: In a leg-based sort of system, CDRs would follow bridging. Does that mean whenever the end of a bridge changes a CDR is generated? And does it mean there are two CDRs per bridge or one? From your examples there only seems to be one CDR per bridge which straight away I can think of a scenario that would cause a problem. If I supply toll free numbers that need to be billed for incoming calls and that can be forwarded out to billable destinations then I want a CDR for both ends of the bridge. In your first blind transfer example what if the initial incoming call to A is billable? I can't see any easy way to get the duration of that call leg.

So my question is : - is there a policy fixing the target of README files ? - for example, if someone installs Asterisk (according README files) on a platform equipped with a Digium analog board, should this board be automatically discovered, configured and ready to run ? Not yet: # which modules to load: a temporary workaround That's the point : if optimizing modules load could be postponed to a later stage, that would be better, IMHO, as installing from source is already a long process. # dahdi_modules is a simple two-liner scrippt that is currently not # installed by default.

[asterisk-users] 1.4.22 crashing on Solaris in ast_dynamic_str_thread_build_va
Hello, Asterisk 1.4.22 keeps crashing on Solaris 5.10 i386. ast_dynamic_str_thread_build_va() seems to be passed some kind of garbage (see attached dbx output) which ultimately brings down the whole process.

Re: [asterisk-users] Dahdi, b410p and looping from 1 port to another
For a ptmp setup where you have multiple phones. Or even a single phone if the port is set to ptmp. Proof of this point is the way I am using our B410P card. Ports 1 and 2 are TE (ptp) and ports 3 4 are NT (ptmp). I have a single ISDN modem connected to port 3 and the B410P would not even look at it unless the 100ohm termination was switched on. So, to reiterate - ptp needs no 100ohm termination (because the end point provides it - aka TEI 0, but ptmp does - aka TEI 127). Looks like we are going to agree to disagree on this one. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival
Festival is a free voice that sounds like a machine. Cepstral is a fee based human voice ($30 USD per voice per CPU). They are similar in that they both produce mechanically timed output. IMO, you should use festival if this isn't a customer based interface. If it is a CBI, use cepstral and if you don't like it, recreate the wav files it plays (The English language is only based on about 1700 sounds). Cepstral is your choice if your IVR is going to be asterisk interlaced since all asterisk voices are Cepstral Allison out of the can. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fort Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 2:53 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival I'm about to begin working on an ivr project to do database backed scheduling.

I have implemented something similar with the Dial command. We had a customer that required real-time call control where every 60s a new request had to be made to reserve quota to allow the call to continue. Part of that involved sending a Curl request from app_dial.c as soon as the call answered and as soon as the call hungup. It works well and is loosely coupled with Asterisk so that in the worst case the Curl request times out after 2s and Asterisk could take alternative action if necessary. A nice side effect of this approach is that it's possible to get a realtime display of calls in progress from the database rather than having to use MAPI. Ultimatley I think CEL is going to be the approach for tracking call flow. Hopefully the CEL hooks will be two way so I don't have to keep updating my real-time call control patch for each version of Asterisk :-(.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival
Festival sucks. Cepstral sucks less. The End. In my experience, it depends on the specific app, who's paying, and who's going to be the victim, err...user listening to it. This is the difference between domain/context specific phrases/words to pronounce vs. general stuff, a client on a tight budget or not, the users being internal vs. customers/public, and so on. Cepstral is a $30 TTS engine. It's not too bad, but you'll find mostly things like Realspeak deployed in large scale professional deployments, such as those used by the big boys, telcos/banks/airlines. We deployed Cepstral recently for a client, for a phone-in service used by the general public, and I can tell you that there was quite a bit of work in teaching it with SSML how to pronounce stuff. Again, it really depends on your specific situation. You should definitely try out those two at least and also ensure that the client/stakeholders are aware of limitations. There's a certain expectation of it will speak perfectly these days, followed by disappointment and blame when reality hits them.

Hi murf, I've got a couple of points (as always) from the new design. First one would be the generation of CDRs when putting a call on hold. I don't think that should occur. When a call is put on hold Asterisk never changes the endpoints of a call all it does is possibly change the media to one or both of the call ends. CDRs are about call endpoints not about media transitions. In SIP terms putting a call on hold is no different to changing codecs both operations are re-INVITES and are irrelevant as far as CDRs and billing go. While I agree with your reasoning, I really like the idea of the CDR showing HOLD states. It allows me to generate a report on how often people are on hold. If I see that the incoming calls to my receptionist spend 15% of the time on hold, that means something to me. If someone doesn't care to know the hold states, they (or their script) can just ignore the HOLD CDR records. I don't see that it would impact any final numbers to just skip them, you still get the total call duration between point A and point B.

[asterisk-users] Paging, Polycom and whispers

Re: [asterisk-users] Paging, Polycom and whispers
You can send an IM to the phone with a text message. Assuming that the phone has more than 1 line and at least one is open, the call should go through without effecting the existing call. To do this from the dialplan, you could set up something like this: Exten = 411,1,Dial(SIP/100,1) Exten = Sendtext(You have a call on park 701) Exten - hangup(} This also assumes that the polycom has presence enabled. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Fullerton Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 10:45 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Paging, Polycom and whispers Mike wrote: Hi, Is there a way to page a Polycom phone that is already in use (if, of course, the call isn't on speakerphone already)?

[asterisk-users] Problem with Bridge Application
Hi, i am running Asterisk 1.6.0-beta4 and i have some trouble with the Bridge-Application. Here is what i want to do: 1) Caller A calls an extension and is connected to an AGI-Script. 2) Doing stuff and originating a second call per Manager Interface 3) Call will be set to an extension with MusicOnHold 4) Caller A hears MusicOnHold 5) Meanwhile, the second call is established and is also connected to an AGI Script 6) Doing stuff 7) Since we have transported the channel name of the first call to the agi script we can execute the Bridge Application in order to bridge the two channels. After executing the Bridge-Application MusicOnHold is stopped on the first call, but the second call in HungUp immediatly. On the Asterisk CLI i see that the correct channel names are issued. There seems to an issue with the second call, which is originated by the asterisk server. If i dial the extension manually, i get connected to the agi which executes Bridge(correct channel name) and everything works fine. Any ideas?

This is happening on mixmonitor recordings even if you're not listening in on chanspy too. Any suggestions? I don't have any suggestions, but this is similar to something I am experiencing with Chanspy in 1.4.21.1. If I spy on a call, then progressively throughout the call a delay is introduced. By the end of the call I can be listening to sound that is 10 seconds out of sync. (Then I don't get to hear the end of the call when the call is finished). This also leaves stale channels open.

Does anyone have some ideas? I have put some log entries below. I haven’t attached my dialplan. Some behaviours I have discovered are: 1) If user A dials directly to the call number of user B, bridging works on answer and the failed log entries below don’t occur. 2) If user A dials into a queue and waits for User B (who is registered in the queue). Then when User B answers, the bridging failures occur as in the log entries below. Thank you.

ISPs tend to promise the world to grab users, knowing full well they can't deliver. And when the users try and use what they've been promised, they're blamed for bringing down the network. And what's worse, this clear spin line is propagated throughout even LARGE media organisations as an accepted fact. P2P Steals Bandwidth. That's reported as a simple and plain fact when, in reality, you can't steal what you've been allotted by your ISP. If the ISP said we only have the capacity for X users to use their service ALL the time, so users who want to pay basic usage and use little can pay this small sum, or users who want to get unlimited but very throttled and pay this larger sum, it would go a long way toward fostering trust all-round without relying on misinformation and vilifying the users who are using what they think they're paying for. Of course, it would be a marketing nightmare, as the other ISPs would say, But we have UNLIMITED access at much higher speeds -- clearly lying about their capacities for the sake of bamboozling non-tech-savvy customers, and then relying on media organisations to propagate their disingenuous epithets against the P2P crowd.

Re: [asterisk-users] Parking calls
This seems to be an AGI/Music on Hold solution to me. For parking to work, you would have to know which lot you parked the call in and pick it back up when done, assuming that another user did not pick it up and that the caller did not hang up. From the dialplan, you would call an AGI. The AGI would do something like this: print STDOUT EXEC background /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/wait-moment \n system(program2.agi ) exit; program 2 would run while the sound played. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric ManxPower Wieling Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2008 3:20 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Parking calls It is not a parking solution.

In my experience, it depends on the specific app, who's paying, and who's going to be the victim, err...user listening to it. This is the difference between domain/context specific phrases/words to pronounce vs. general stuff, a client on a tight budget or not, the users being internal vs. customers/public, and so on. Cepstral is a $30 TTS engine. It's not too bad, but you'll find mostly things like Realspeak deployed in large scale professional deployments, such as those used by the big boys, telcos/banks/ airlines. We deployed Cepstral recently for a client, for a phone-in service used by the general public, and I can tell you that there was quite a bit of work in teaching it with SSML how to pronounce stuff. Again, it really depends on your specific situation. You should definitely try out those two at least and also ensure that the client/stakeholders are aware of limitations.

Can Cepstral, with the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute? It's been a while since I did a head-to-head comparison between Cepstral and (anything else) so I did a quick demo of the RealSpeak Host-based telecom app: http://www.nuance.com/realspeak/demo/ (contact data required) and the Cepstral demo: http://www.cepstral.com/demos/ I used the Jill (default - 8khz) for RealSpeak and Allison (default) for the tests, and played back the same phrase: Congratulations. You have successfully installed and executed the Asterisk open source PBX. My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral. But by how much? I should probably test with more than just that one phrase, but I can't say I'd prefer RealSpeak significantly over Cepstral in this extremely limited case. Does RealSpeak get better long-term test results and comprehension/retention? I know that Cepstral is $50/port - the RealSpeak pricing is un-findable, which tells me that it's significantly higher than Cepstral. (Personal peeve: at least put your list pricing on the website! grumble) That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit. I wasn't able to quickly uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP? A C library? Some sort of HTTP socket? The more methods we can get working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of a voice system has the same requirements...

John Todd wrote: Erik - Have you found RealSpeak to be worth the cost? Can Cepstral, with the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute? It's been a while since I did a head-to-head comparison between Cepstral and (anything else) so I did a quick demo of the RealSpeak Host-based telecom app: http://www.nuance.com/realspeak/demo/ (contact data required) and the Cepstral demo: http://www.cepstral.com/demos/ I used the Jill (default - 8khz) for RealSpeak and Allison (default) for the tests, and played back the same phrase: Congratulations. You have successfully installed and executed the Asterisk open source PBX. My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral. But by how much? I should probably test with more than just that one phrase, but I can't say I'd prefer RealSpeak significantly over Cepstral in this extremely limited case. Does RealSpeak get better long-term test results and comprehension/retention? I know that Cepstral is $50/port - the RealSpeak pricing is un-findable, which tells me that it's significantly higher than Cepstral. (Personal peeve: at least put your list pricing on the website! grumble) That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit. I wasn't able to quickly uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP? A C library? Some sort of HTTP socket? The more methods we can get working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of a voice system has the same requirements... JT --- John Todd [EMAIL PROTECTED]+1-256-428-6083 Asterisk Open Source Community Director This may not be a perfectly fair comparison. Looks like you're comparing the RealSpeak 8khz voice to the Cepstral default Allison which is NOT 8khz. If you look on the Cepstral site you'll see Desktop Voices and Telephony Voices. The Cepstral Telephony voices are 8khz, and I suspect their quality is on par with RealSpeak. I recently licensed the Allison-8Khz voice for some of the admin functions on my companies phone systems where I didn't want to record prompts and Flite was too robotic sounding. The Allison-8khz voice is virtually indistinguishable from the pre-recorded Allison prompts, except for maybe some minor differences in inflection. I was thoroughly impressed with the quality though. For the most part it sounds like you've hired Allison to record custom prompts. The Allison Desktop voice is OK, but sounds sort of like Allison is taking through a spinning fan blade. When you're doing TTS comparisons be sure you're comparing apples to apples and not peaches to apricots. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Yes, just like the airlines need to somehow control those users who keep showing up to the flight they booked, every single time! It's impossible to do overbooking with customers like that, so we need to find ways of punishing them. What happens if everyone who owns a car drives it at the same time? Owns a telephone and uses it at the same time? As far as I remember the very first service to offer flat rate was BIX. They very carefully figured out what it would cost to insure a fair profit, and it was a big hit till a few people figured out that they could use private chats as a network pipe and stay on 24/7 using some mysterious protocol. In the end, that was some of what killed the service and there was nothing to be done about it. For most of us, well for me anyway, I like the fat pipe I have for the 1% of the time I use it and I expect that as a residential user Time Warner sell me that pipe expecting me to use it about that much, maybe a bit more if I had teenage kids. I'm sure in the fine print it says I can't host a web server though I'd guess they'd not complain if it didn't get much traffic. I've considered a T1 so I'd be guaranteed the throughput so my phones would always work, but that costs 10 times as much and has less promised speed than my cable modem. So personally I consider that if I was to try and use my current internet connection to host a torrent site and it tried to use 100% of the promised capacity all the time that I'd get cut off. The same as most of the unlimited phone service says in fine print up to 2000 minutes/month or some such limit. If I could get the same plan for my internet as I get for my phones, a few dollars a month plus a bit per minute(megabyte), I'd be all over it, but even better, then the provider wouldn't have to care as they'd be making a fair profit no matter what the user did.

Re: [asterisk-users] GSM gateways - which one ?
Hello Philipp, All what you says was true and I am first to witness it. Ecotel VoIP was a new product at that time needed some time like wine to become good 1-) Files did not cleanup correctly ; 2-) Lot of erratic issues that we have also greyed hair with; 3-) Stability issues, ...etc; When I gave the Vierling Ecotel SIP-GSM gateway a try (years ago) it was a nightmare. There was an IP address printed on a sticker on the device - didn't work. And the Ecotel didn't ask my DHCP server for an address either. (HT:) Ecotel VOIP allows USB connectivity first. Through USB cable, you can assign to it IP address. New models allow also GSM calls remotely; I used nmap to scan my net for the device. Found it but: no telnet, no web GUI, nothing. (HT): There is Service Gear GUI application that you can download. When my hair started to turn gray I found out that it came with a MS-Windows-only configuration tool. Great! :-( (HT): Indeed. Although it is linux based box, config through GUI is windows based. It handles sim rotation and advanced sim management scenarii; And - guess what - that tool managed to break almost every human interface guideline. (HT): I hope you did not throw your box ! In case not, you can try it and I can help you make it work (albeit today is stable that we use in production); However when you finally have the thing up and running it works. And maybe it's all better now. (HT): Indeed. Despite other products we have tried on the market protech and many other products (voiceblue of 2N), Ecotel VoIP can play VoIP, ISDN, GSM (CDMA ) + sip proxy (SER based). It can work in NAT with very advanced sim rotation capabilities (if need be to use lot of sims for free packages or so). It has advanced logging (you can trace SER and also GSM AT commands). These make this product not in same range oas protech and other ones alike Philipp Kempgen Hakem, -- ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Hakem Voip ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I should probably test with more than just that one phrase, but I can't say I'd prefer RealSpeak significantly over Cepstral in this extremely limited case. Does RealSpeak get better long-term test results and comprehension/retention? I know that Cepstral is $50/port - the RealSpeak pricing is un-findable, which tells me that it's significantly higher than Cepstral. (Personal peeve: at least put your list pricing on the website! grumble) For French language, I find the quality of RealSpeak to be very good.

Re: [asterisk-users] cepstral vs festival
Erik - Have you found RealSpeak to be worth the cost? Actually my last note was probably a bit misleading because in the particular cases I mentioned RealSpeak, the platform wasn't Asterisk and Cepstral wasn't even on the radar. Can Cepstral, with the hourly $ spent on tuning, be made to be a reasonable substitute? Nuance would say no :) I'd say maybe. Call up +14164854854, it's a recent project we did for a client using Asterisk, Cepstral, and a lot of custom code. It's a free phone-in service that allows folks to get local traffic, weather, news, commuter transit, border crossing wait times, and more. There's obviously quite a bit of domain-specific, dynamic, constantly changing text, so this is certainly an example of pushing it to the max. Just think of all the street names it has the potential to mispronounce. It's a work in progress, but it's very promising. Definitely an example of a lot of hourly $ spent on tuning as you put it. My results: The RealSpeak sample was more clear than the Cepstral. Depends on what you mean by more clear. As Brent Davidson mentions, make sure you're comparing 8khz to 8khz, or similar. If you mean it pronounces things better, then I agree. That being said, I'd really be interested in hearing if anyone has done a RealSpeak-to-Asterisk conduit. I wasn't able to quickly uncover how they interact with third-party systems - is it VoIP? A C library? Some sort of HTTP socket? The more methods we can get working with Asterisk, the better, because not every implementation of a voice system has the same requirements...
