It's not only good for having a better scalable infrastructure - it
also gives you the ability to freely change your tts engine or add
functionality like speech recogniction or recording.<br>

Dear Daniel,
Thanks so much for the pointer. I'll certainly check that out. I don't
really have much of a scaling issue at the moment, but I sure hope I do
someday! Always good to keep the architecture as small parts loosely
joined.
Best regards,
Lester

<br>
instead of calling swift directly you can consider calling
it via an MRCP server like UniMRCP.<br>
<br>
It's all free software and works like a charm in my setup.
I'm using mod_unimrcp on our FreeSWITCH servers and am
running UniMRCP as a server on a single node that is our
dedicated speech server.<br>
<br>
That scenario also offloads the task of speech generation
to another machine to save resources on the FreeSWITCH
nodes. If you use other cepstral languages than english
you need to manually patch the sources.<br>

<pre>Hi,
I'm running Freeswitch built from trunk a week or so ago, 1.0.head.
I am using a Cepstral voice for text to speech. I generate a long
string of text, including SSML breaks, that is rendered to speech by the
swift utility packaged with Cepstral voices. The test string I built
renders as 1m:46s of speech, and a .wav file about 1.6MB, from the swift
command line.
I changed single quotes to double quotes and escaped them, as mentioned
on the wiki page for mod_cepstral, and I now have a working text to
speech path using ESL built for Ruby 1.9.2, using the sample Ruby code
on the wiki.
Everything basically works fine, even on my test machine which is a
$5/mo Xen VPS with 10ms kernel timer resolution. (lowendbox.com)
My issue is that the speech cuts off midway through the call, when I
guess some limit on generated output is being reached. Before I dig
into the guts of mod_cepstral and Freeswitch, could someone point me to
what might be limiting the length of output? Swift seems to generate a
wav file of indefinite length, so at least the issue is somewhere in the
open source parts of the server.
Having yet looked at the guts of mod_cepstral, I presume that a
high-performance output module does not have the swift utility write a
.wav file to disk and then play it back, but instead lets swift shove
the bytes directly into a socket. What is a good Freeswitch example of
this architecture?
Thanks,
Lester
