[Freeswitch-dev] [Freeswitch-users] C SAY API

[Kannaiyan Natesan]

With regards to the digits there are different formats around the world,

1,000,000 <- million

10,00,000  <- 10 Lakhs in india

So a generic format for the number will be good, so in future if any new
additions comes to the numbering system it will be easy to accomodate.

[1] - unit
[2] - tens
[3] - hundreds
[4-6] - thousands

for india,

[4-5] - Thousands
[6-7] - Lakhs

system will be good.

A good analysis internationally will serve easier to expand the software
internationally with less ease.

If this flexibility is not sorted in the initial stage then user need to
write own module to use in their country which I'm right now doing for
asterisk, which is utter useless with the design of the application.

Thanks.

Regards,
Kannaiyan
