I'm using the SayNumber() app to read out a users balance for an IVR.
Is there a way I can do that while waiting for DTMF input?

Obviously, read() and Background() don't correctly say a number in number format.

Thanks,
Doug.

Run a script before the user gets to Background that cat the gsm files
together and then play that file.

IE

#!/bin/bash
BALANCE=$1
ACCOUNT=$2
SOUNDSDIR="/var/lib/asterisk/sounds"
ACCOUNTFILE="$SOUNDSDIR/accounts/$ACCOUNT.gsm"
#
#Some creative scripting will need to be done to be able to properly say
the #numbers. Ie One-Hundred Eighteen Dollars and Forty-Two Cents. This
script #will play One-One-Eight Dollars and Four-Two cents.
#
# Get the Dollars and Cents...
#
DOLLARS=`echo $BALANCE | cut -f1 -d.`
CENTS=`echo $BALANCE | cut -f2 -d.`
#
#
ELEMENTS=`echo $DOLLARS | wc -m`
for (( i=0;i<$ELEMENTS;i++)); do
cat $SOUNDSDIR/digits/${DOLLARS:$i:1}.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
done

cat $$SOUNDSDIR/dollars.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
cat $$SOUNDSDIR/and.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE

ELEMENTS=`echo $CENTS | wc -m`
for (( i=0;i<$ELEMENTS;i++)); do
cat $SOUNDSDIR/digits/${CENTS:$i:1}.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE
done

cat $$SOUNDSDIR/cents.gsm >> $ACCOUNTFILE

----------------------

Then just call the script before the Background with the argumants need
and then play back the generated file...

Well, how about using an app like cepstral to record it as a wav and
using background or waitexten to play the wav -- the time lag should
never be noticed.
