Multilinugual voice prompts and MBROLA TTS?

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

  1. How can I have a multilinugal (English, French, German and Swedish etc.) voice prompts (selectable by the caller like for English, press 1; for French, press 2; for German, press 3 and for Swedish, press 4), is that possible with the same asterisk box?

  2. And for text to speech engine, which one of the these at tcts.fpms.ac.be/synthesis/mbrola.html) is the ideal one to integrate with asterisk?

  1. yes it is. Record all your prompts with filename like wlecome-english.gsm. then through your menu, do things like

exten => wahtever,1,Background(welcome-${lang})

at the beginning of the call set ${lang} with something like

exten => 1,1,Set(lang=english)
exten => 2,1,Set(lang=spanish)
etc etc

as for the voice synthesis you couild probably hack it together, but the two that are known to work are Festival (free) and Cepstral/Swift (commercial).
