With anything that will make a sound file. I use a text to speech
program
to make a WAV file and then convert the files to GSM with a program
called "Sox" which you can download for free on the Internet. It
will
convert WAV files to GSM or ULAW format for Asterisk.
Take a look at:
You can download a trial version of "Text Aloud" and hear what a
bunch
of TTS voices sound like. If you are going to make a bunch of sound
files,
like announcements. id’ers, and the “node names” files, that’s the
easiest way to do it. I use a voice called NeoSpeech Kate, which is close to
Allison’s
voice and probably the most realistic TTS voice I have. You can also use the Windows recorder to record them. Get one of the
girls from the ham club with a nice voice to record them for you. Or
hire
Allison Smith, but she’s probably a bit expensive because she’s a
real person, not a TTS voice A TTS voice costs about $30, and a the Text Aloud program is also
about
$30, so for sixty bucks you can make sound files forever…

How do I generate the files?

Ron,I don't know about voice mail, but you can use the
Tail Message function to play
canned announcements. Goes in the [Node] stanza: ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Audio files can be played for weather warnings, ; to announce club meetings, etc. ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; Audio file(s) to be played as a tail message. If
there
; is more than one file listed, separate files with
a comma
; and the files will be rotated. File extension
should be
; omitted. If no path is specified, the files should
be
; located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds. ; ; Example: tailmessagelist=file1,file2,file3 ; tailmessagelist=/kh2d/node-announce ; ; Time, in miliseconds, between tail messages ; 900000 = 15 minutes. ; tailmessagetime=3600000 ; ; If a user transmits during the tail message, a
shorter
; interval can be set to replay the message
(miliseconds).
; 300000 = 5 minutes ; tailsquashedtime=900000 ; ; 73, Jim KH2D On 2/17/2012 9:47 PM, Ron Simpson wrote:
Is it possible to use the voice mail
features built into Asterisk for canned
system announcements? I want to announce
the various nets and meetings on the
repeater. I would also like to use the
vm feature for someone to call in and
leave me a message. Am I doing some big
time wishful thinking or is this
possible!!
