Hi again

I’d like to configured my Asterisk to use german sounds for the
“Say”-commands…

I installed the sounds-files and I tried them with
“Playback(de/demo-echodone)” and it works.

Now I tried to add an extension to say the current time:

exten => 24,1,Verbose(2,Time asked by ${CALLERID(num)})
Exten => 24,n,Set(CHANNEL(language)

  • Hi,

    from voipinfo…

    If an Asterisk command specifies a sound file in a*subdirectory*, Asterisk looks in that subdirectory for the language subdirectory. For example, theSayDigits
    <http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+SayDigits>command may play the sound file “digits/6”. Asterisk will, if the language code is
    “de”, first look for /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/*digits/de/*6.gsm before falling back to /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/6.gsm.

    Hi

    Of course I read this page, but it does NOT work so… Right now I got it, using a new structure:

    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/de/
    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/de/digits
    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/de/letters
    /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/de/phonetics

    and it works…

  • Generate your own German sound files, it’s not difficult, but rather time consuming. A couple of years ago I suggested to donate my own files, but the problem were the license conditions of the text to speech software. If there is enough interest, I could contact the vendor again and ask about acceptable compensation. Of course, you and a few more must be willing to pay for the sound files.

    The sound quality of old gsm Amooma files is pretty bad, but I don’t know from where you can get them and the old Pforzheim files are incomplete.
