IBM's was just something I found that was easy to integrate into asterisk free. If scansoft also has a demo then I may look at writing something else to use theirs. I checked their website but didnt see an online demo. I am not happy with the lower selection in voices with ibm, but its free, simple to use, and works without any markers saying its a demo. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I will read their tos and make sure that anything I do wont violate that. 100 char limit it seems. Shouldnt be that hard, but I will be using netcat instead of wget/fetch. This does sound better.. if its usable the voice selection is also a lot more robust, and that is something I didnt like about the 2 choices with ibm (although my guess is that you can brute force voices out of ibm, its 3 letters in the url, I just didnt want to play those games incase they cried foul). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

It isnt hard if someone else wants to fine, I personally wont though. The reason is quite simple: This demo is for demonstration purposes only. For other use, please contact our Sales Office. I am not gonna violate something so plain :) However they dont appear to have much by way of security (although I didnt verify cookies I dont think they are using them in any way for this, and that is trivial ...). Its a simple form post, with variables for the language and voice as well as content. Anyone that understands basical HTTP should be able to figure out what to send, and how to save the resulting 8khz wav file, like with netcat for example, or perhaps a simple LWP perl script, and then use sox to convert, save and blah blah blah. perl would likely be easier than netcat, and most systems now require it (I avoid it because its not mandatory it be on a system, however I havent seen one without bourne shell). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
