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:
http://www.nextup.com/
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
;

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!!
