Re: [asterisk-users] Anyone doing speech to text?
I have a similar situation here, I want to include TTS in my asterisk IVR system. Could someone give suggestion(s) please, I prefer open-source thanks in advance! Chatila, A. C. P. O.

Your subject says 'speech to text' but the URL you reference does 'text to speech.' 'speech to text' is where your caller speaks and Asterisk gets the text. 'text to speech' is where Asterisk (your dialplan) has a string of text and your caller hears the spoken words.

Hello, what follows is a mostly incomplete list of Text To Speech (TTS) and Speech To Text (STT) solutions available for asterisk. -Regarding the TTS free and open source available options: Asterisk comes with festival (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/) support (app_festival) already build in. Decent quality, supports mainly English. There is support for flite (http://www.festvox.org/flite/) available as a 3rd party plugin : http://zaf.github.io/Asterisk-Flite/ Quality at par with festival, much easier to setup and use, supports only English. Also support for espeak (http://espeak.sourceforge.net/): http://zaf.github.io/Asterisk-eSpeak/ Average quality, supports a wide range of languages. -Free plugins/scripts that provide TTS from a remote not-so-free service: GoogleTTS : http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-googletts/ Great quality, lots of languages, free of charge but NOT suitable for any serious/commercial use. It is not a service Google officially provides but just a hack that gets synthesized speech data from their translate page. It's more suitable for testing/developing and home use. MsTTS: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-mstts/ using Microsoft's Translator voice synthesis engine. iSpeech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-ispeech/ using iSpeech API (http://www.ispeech.org) -Other non free solutions: Cepstral: http://www.cepstral.com/en/telephony/asterisk Speech Technology Group: http://www.asteriskexchange.com/listings/1001 -Regarding the STT options: Google Speech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-speech-recog/ the API is limited at the moment in something like 50 requests/day and considered a technology preview. iSpeech: http://zaf.github.io/asterisk-ispeech/ Lumevox: http://www.lumenvox.com/partners/digium/asterisk.aspx Sphinx: http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/asteriskdetails Vestec: http://www.asteriskexchange.com/listings/113 Regards, Lefteris Zafiris -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] Anyone doing speech to text?
I had been using google tts, but it started requiring a captcha for my browser, and via linux I can't access http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?q=test (redirects to captcha) as so, its not reliable On 27 August 2015 at 17:16, Carlos Chavez cur...@telecomabmex.com wrote: On 8/26/15 1:15 PM, Tech Support wrote: All; I have a customer who is looking for a good speech to text solution, either open source or reasonably priced commercial product, I’m open to suggestions.
