TTS and existing audio file

[roll72]

Hello,

I got Vicibox VERSION: 2.2.1-237 BUILD: 100510-2015. I'm trying to use the TTS with some TTS and ready wav file as described in http://www.vicidial.org/images/TTS_prompt_settings.jpg, I saw we can use reday wav or gsm file using "audio src" syntax, but could we use TTS without ceptral installed and then with only reday audio src files ?

Do someone got some documentation on it (I read the 2.4 manager manual but not found anything)?

thanks in advance

You did not list your Vicibox version. The version you listed is for Vicidial (which is good), but the installer (Vicibox) version is also quite handy to list in your specs. As is your asterisk version.

Have you tried your solution to see if it works?

I doubt that it will, because I believe the commands in question are executed by Cepstral ... which obviously won't work if Cepstral is missing.

Hello,

I saw the new cepstral do not support vicidial as previously (I found a wiki on that).
I was wondering to modify the script who run Cepstral voice generation, and replace it with a command like 'sox' which could make the concanetation of multiple audio file in one.

what do you think of that ?

The new version of Cepstral works just fine with Vicidial, as long as you buy it with the batch option.

sox does not help because it will merely convert/combine/split/modify existing audio files. if you have an audio file generated by cepstral ... asterisk will just play it. so sox is not needed. but you must purchase the version of cepstral that will write the file to disk to use this method (and any necessary conversion already happens with the existing cepstral/vicidial stock methodology). if you purchase a cepstral license that writes directly into an asterisk channel, however, sox cannot help as there is no file to convert.

What is the version of the cepstral to choose ? do I need to purchase the "save to file" option, or it is done automatically by the cache process in the vicidial script ?
My need : some of the message will be the same for many leads, so I don't need it to be regenarate each time.

thanks

For version: You need to purchase the save to file option and the version that will fit the Asterisk version in your system. Of course, you could try the new asterisk 1.8 version of Vicidial, but that configuration is still in Beta.

Hi. What is meant by "batch option"? We purchased Callie and to ports. I was looking for a confirmation elsewhere. Will Cepstral 6 work with Vicidial with Asterisk version 1.4?

[williamconley]

Cepstral 6 is not directly compatible with asterisk 1.4.

if you want cepstral 6, you will need to purchase a license that will allow you to write the audio to disk.
