Hi,

Is there any way in Asterisk to say an ordinal number? For instance if I
were to pass the application 1 it would say first. If I were to pass it 2
it would say Second etc.? I know that Voicemail has this when hearing your message count but I have not seen any application that allows this from the dialplan.

TIA.

  • My sounds directory (en_UK) contains files with names such as “first.gsm”,
    “second.gsm”, “ninth.gsm” etc.

    You could simply copy these to a subdirectory named “ordinal” into filenames like “ordinal/1.gsm”, “ordinal/2.gsm” etc (the same as you have already under the “digits” subdirectory), and then use:

    Playback(ordinal/${DIGIT})

    The main limitation would be whether you want it to go beyond 20th (which is far as those recordings go for me, except for the decades 30th, 40th…100th).

  • The prompts for saying any ordinal number are all there: from 1 to
    999,999,999 – they just need to be spliced together properly. I am currently in the process of refactoring core “Say” code and could add a SayOrdinal() application while I’m at it. Would this meet your needs?

  • Are you sure it says “you are currently third in the queue”?

    I thought it said “you are currently at position number three in the queue”…

    Douglas was one of those writers who honourably failed to get anywhere with
    ‘weekending’. It put a premium on people who could write things that lasted thirty seconds, and Douglas was incapable of writing a single sentence that lasted less than thirty seconds.
