RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Rhetorical Systems

2004-05-10 Thread Jason Penton
Hi all

Does anyone have any experience with an E1 Channel bank connected to
Asterisk. I know form an earlier post that Orion telecom and Valiant Telecom
make them. But does anyone know if/how well they work with Asterisk.

Thanks in advance
Jason

Try www.cepstral.com  They have a wide range of voices, runs on both
Linux and Windows, and is US$30 for the non-development version.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Rhetorical Systems

2004-05-10 Thread Ben Merrills
I took a look at their site and played some of the demo's - can I have
any comments from Asterisk users? How did they get on with it and what
is the general opinion of the quality etc?

This will be used for a major service line that reports faults and
outages across a network.

Kind Regards,

Ben Merrills

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Rhetorical Systems

2004-05-10 Thread Ben Merrills








Has anyone tried integrating Asterisk and Rhetoricals
rVoice software? Were evaluating different approaches to system
announcements via T2S. Has anyone gone down this route that could give some
advice?



Ive installed festival and wasnt too
impressed, the demo one the website seems far better quality and clarity then
the defaults in the source package. However I must admit Ive not yet
figured our how to change the voice, and Im sure the quality could be
improved on (in which case, does anyone know how to switch to the Male British
voice?)



Any advice or guidance here would be greatly appreciated.



Kind Regards,

a very good move tho.  Quite frankly Rhetoricals tts is the best I've heard so far.
