Thanks for checking in and showing us this tool. If you have a minute to join us on the Wednesday conference call maybe you could call in and talk about it. :)<br><br>Thanks,<br>MC<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 25, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Julian Pawlowski <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:julian.pawlowski@gmail.com" target="_blank">julian.pawlowski@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Thanks for taking the lead on this. Once you get a set of sound files ready for production please let me know. I will get them house in our freeswitch-sounds git repo so that we can keep track of them and properly roll tarballs to put out on <a href="http://files.freeswitch.org/" target="_blank">files.freeswitch.org</a>.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I wanted to give you an update on this.</div><div><br></div><div>It actually became a lot more than just only creating <span>german</span> <span>voice</span> <span>prompts</span> now.</div>
<div>The repo currently hosted on <a href="https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts" target="_blank">https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts</a> provides capability to create <span>voice</span> <span>prompts</span> for any language via Google TTS and Bing TTS services.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Although we have lovely Callie for the english people already I found this useful as there may be people out there wanting to create their own <span>prompts</span> but wish to mix it with existing ones (which is doable with Callie but it mixes the <span>voices</span>...).</div>
<div><br></div><div>You may download pre-compiled <span>prompts</span> for <span>german</span> and english here:</div><div><a href="http://repo.profhost.eu/static/freeswitch/" target="_blank">http://repo.profhost.eu/static/freeswitch/</a><br>
</div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Although I gave them version 1.0.1 already I'm not sure if they are ready to be published on <a href="http://files.freeswitch.org/" target="_blank">files.freeswitch.org</a> yet, maybe wait for some feedback first.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Oh and I did some improvements to the english part also, e.g.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">- typos in the filename</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
- adjust long texts with a line break for separate processing (e.g. Google wants shorter texts)</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">- identify tones and music files</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
- remove duplicates (mostly related to the tones)</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">- (can't remember right now, might be more)</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">For the tones part: When I was looking through the files it seemed there was an intention to include tone files for e.g. joining/leaving a conference. I moved them to a dedicated folder and tried to find some first files:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><a href="https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts/tree/master/tone" target="_blank">https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts/tree/master/tone</a><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><a href="https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts/tree/master/music" target="_blank">https://github.com/jpawlowski/freeswitch-sounds-tts/tree/master/music</a><br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Those files will be included into the normal <span>voice</span> path during packaging (see files mentioned above).</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I didn't check if tones are used anywhere in the FS source code already to adapt the file names yet.</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">There are also a bunch of administrative scripts included to import/export files from XML or existing Callie <span>voice</span>. I also have plans to create a new XML file to update phrase_en.xml and phrase_de.xml in the FS Git repo but it's not finished yet.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The scripts are not really pretty and mix different kind of programming languages. However they are working for now, may be consolidation can be done later :-)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">For now I would like to keep the repo for the TTS stuff at my Github account but surely we can talk about a transfer to the FS servers later.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
Cheers,</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Julian</div></div></div>
