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>

<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>
