Hi,

I have a question about setting up speech in FS...

I'm far away from the default config, so I just want to add the
MINIMUM amount necessary to my config to enable speech.

My goal is to have some basic functions like "You have 3 dollars and
27 cents left".

(Do I need to build the cepstral code and modules?)

Can anyone help me with a simple, clean few lines of XML in the config
to enable this?

Thanks,

Check out http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Speech_Phrase_Management
Specifically the "saymoney" example
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Speech_Phrase_Management#Dial_Plan_Sampl
es

It has an example of how it will say $851,920.11 to the caller. Rumor
has it that this amount reflects the amount of money that Anthony is
owed for all of the bounties he's been completed. Wink

My goal is to have some basic functions like "You have 3 dollars and
27 cents left".

Here's a snippet that I would use to manually create the above phrase,
mixing TTS and pre-recorded prompts:

<macro name="ivr-speak-balance">
<input pattern="(.*)">
<match>
<action function="playfile" data="voicemail/you-have.wav"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>
<action function="speak-text" data="${num_dollars}"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>
<action function="playfile" data="currency/dollars.wav"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>
<action function="playfile" data="currency/and.wav"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>
<action function="speak-text" data="${num_cents}"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>
<action function="playfile" data="currency/cents.wav"/>
<action function="execute" data="sleep(50)"/>

<action function="playfile" data="left.wav"/>
</match>
</input>
</macro>

That demonstrates the way you can build phrases. However I believe that
there are more elegant ways of handling dollar amounts when using the
"say" action. Brian, can you confirm if "say" handles currency and if it
handles dollars/cents with correct plural/singular values?

Note: the above snippet could be in a file but it would need to be
included via conf/lang/en/en.xml or otherwise inserted into your config
inside of the <language></language> tags for whichever language(s) you
are using...

If you are doing TTS then yes, you'll need Cepstral -OR- Flite, but not
both. You can build either one but don't enable them simultaneously on
modules.conf.xml or non-fun things will happen.

Are you doing an IVR? Just confirming so that I can get a sense of what
you are trying to accomplish.

I'm not sure what would be better. TTS is a nice idea if the quality
is good.

Do you have a preference or recommendation?

Nice,

Do I have to build and/or install any additional modules?
It seems as if the demo relies on some macros that in turn rely on
specific language files. is there any more detail about working with
them.

For example, I see sound files in /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/
callie/ascii/8000. Is this a good location, or do I need to move
them to somewhere that makes more sense? (I'm concerned about the
"8000" part of the path.)

Thanks,

You can have files for all three rates we support 8000, 16000 and
32000..

example:

playback /usr/local/freeswith/sounds/test.wav

What we will do is look for /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/$
{channel_rate}/test.wav

So if FreeSWITCH can't find a file to match the rate it will fall back
to /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/test.wav

Brian,

That really helped. I can now get FS to "say" some basic stuff.

Now I'm trying to play some specific sound files and am seeing an
error about unable to locate a file. It appears as if FS is not
appending the "en/us" part to the filename it is trying to open.

here are the relevant entries from the logfile:

switch_ivr_play_say.c:115 switch_ivr_phrase_macro() No language
specified - Using [en]
2008-10-15 22:07:04 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_play_say.c:260
switch_ivr_phrase_macro() Handle play-file:[voicemail/vm-youhave.wav]
(en:en)
2008-10-15 22:07:04 [ERR] mod_sndfile.c:175 sndfile_file_open() Error
Opening File [/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/callie/voicemail/vm-
youhave.wav] [System error : No such file or directory.]

The actual file IS located at /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/
callie/voicemail/8000/vm-youhave.wav

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!!
