With anything that will make a sound file. I use a text to speech
program<br>
to make a WAV file and then convert the files to GSM with a program
<br>
called "Sox" which you can download for free on the Internet. It
will <br>
convert WAV files to GSM or ULAW format for Asterisk. <br>
<br>
Take a look at:<br>
<br>
<a rel="nofollow" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" target="_blank" href="http://www.nextup.com/">http://www.nextup.com/</a><br>
<br>
You can download a trial version of "Text Aloud" and hear what a
bunch<br>
of TTS voices sound like. If you are going to make a bunch of sound
files,<br>
like announcements. id'ers, and the "node names" files, that's the
easiest way <br>
to do it. I use a voice called NeoSpeech Kate, which is close to
Allison's<br>
voice and probably the most realistic TTS voice I have. <br>
<br>
You can also use the Windows recorder to record them. Get one of the<br>
girls from the ham club with a nice voice to record them for you. Or
hire<br>
Allison Smith, but she's probably a bit expensive because she's a
real <br>
person, not a TTS voice <span class="moz-smiley-s1"></span><br>
<br>
A TTS voice costs about $30, and a the Text Aloud program is also
about<br>
$30, so for sixty bucks you can make sound files forever....<br>

I don't know about voice mail, but you can use the
Tail Message function to play<br>
canned announcements. Goes in the [Node] stanza:<br>
<br>
;<br>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;<br>
; Audio files can be played for weather warnings,
<br>
; to announce club meetings, etc.<br>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
<br>
;<br>
; Audio file(s) to be played as a tail message. If
there<br>
; is more than one file listed, separate files with
a comma<br>
; and the files will be rotated. File extension
should be<br>
; omitted. If no path is specified, the files should
be <br>
; located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds.<br>
;<br>
; Example: tailmessagelist=file1,file2,file3 <br>
;<br>
tailmessagelist=/kh2d/node-announce<br>
;<br>
; Time, in miliseconds, between tail messages<br>
; 900000 = 15 minutes.<br>
;<br>
tailmessagetime=3600000 <br>
;<br>
; If a user transmits during the tail message, a
shorter <br>
; interval can be set to replay the message
(miliseconds).<br>
; 300000 = 5 minutes <br>
;<br>
tailsquashedtime=900000 <br>
;<br>

<p>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!!<br>
