    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>
