[Freeswitch-users] How to use say_string

[mayamatakeshi]

OK. I understand now that application say and function say_string are not
exactly equivalents.

To use function say_string you need to properly set sound_prefix to
something like
sound_prefix=/usr/local/freeswitch/sounds/en/us/callie

This is not needed when you use application say because of configurations
like this:
./conf/lang/en/en.xml:  <language name="en" say-module="en"
sound-prefix="$${sounds_dir}/en/us/callie" tts-engine="cepstral"
tts-voice="callie">

So I just need to set the sound_prefix as appropriate.

Takeshi

(obs: i will update wiki later as its DB is currently locked for
maintenance)
