Voice Mail features of Asterisk

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…

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 

                ;

                ;

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!!
