<font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Anyone else wants to contribute anything else? I am ashamed of myself for not being the one to contribute to this but unfortunately the commercial pressures and/or budget isn't giving me the luxury of taking the time to be the one to run these tests side by side on the current Asterisk release and the FS release to see how they both perform. I would say I have slightly more experience with Asterisk but I really want to build the new network solely on Freeswitch but I have very limited experience with FS. So I would like some help/advice. I will be trying to install FS on Solaris (Sparc) over the next few days and reporting back but it would be severely helpful if someone has already tried it and have some document re: any pitfalls, how to avoid them and tweaks etc required? </font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">Lastly, would the TTS modules etc compile on a Sparc based solaris platform or is that not a problem and it'll just compile all along with FS when the modules are uncommented in the modules.xml file?</font></div>

In my setup, I have a cluster of MRCP servers. The FreeSWITCH boxes then use mod_unimrcp to make TTS requests to that cluster. This has the following benefits:<br>
<br>1. TTS licenses can be shared among any FreeSWITCH box. This is good because licenses are expensive.<br>2. There are more TTS vendors that support MRCP than there are TTS modules in FreeSWITCH- though a new module could be written if you are a C developer.<br>
<br>Others use mod_cepstral and mod_tts_commandline, so those options can be explored too. <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 6:32 AM, RR <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ranjtech@gmail.com" target="_blank">ranjtech@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I have a whole bunch of questions regarding the TTS functionality in FreeSWITCH and Just Generally about Freeswitch on a Sparc based Solaris Platform and then the combo of the two, whether FreeSWITCH can be built on a Sparc based Solaris platform when compiled with a "reasonably" good TTS module be it Cepstral, FLite OR NeoSpeech etc?</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">1) Can anyone reflect on any experience they might have had in terms of the performance difference between TTS on Asterisk (let's say Asterisk 1.8) and FreeSWITCH? Is one better than the other?</span></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">2) Can One or the other or both be compiled successfully on a Sparc based Solaris platform? </font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">3) Would it benefit if I was to use a dedicated box for TTS and throw calls to that box for TTS processing and send back media the way it came after the sound files are generated from the TTS-process?</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">4) Please note that the quality of the Translation doesn't need to be impeccable or mimic human speech. It just needs to be understandable enough esp. over mobile phones. The more complex part about it is, that the user directory can/will have names from all sorts of ethnicities/nationalities which may mess up a lot of these TTS engines. So what is the best approach there in this mixed environment</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif">5) Does the OpenMRCP play any part in any of this? Would I benefit with that? </font></div><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif"><br></font></div>
<div><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I think this is the crux of my concerns. Any ideas and/or suggestions to kick off the discussion would be very very much appreciated.</span></div>
