Hi,
 
I'm working on a muiti-lingual say api for ivr programmers to be able
to generate audio for saying numbers, counting items or expressing amounts of things such as currency.  I'd like some input from anyone who has some ideas
on how to make sure we cover all bases.
 
The basic idea is that we will have an api where each new language/implementation would provide it's own version of this function.
 
switch_status_t say(char *tosay,
                    switch_say_gender_t gender,
                    switch_say_type_t type,
                    switch_say_method_t method,
                    switch_input_callback_function_t dtmf_callback,
                    void *buf,
                    uint32_t buflen);
The enums are described in http://www.freeswitch.org/eg/say_api.c
 
the idea would be something like
 
switch_say_handle_t *en;
 
en = switch_say_load("en");
 
switch_ivr_play_file(session, NULL, "/sounds/youhave.wav", NULL, NULL, NULL, 0);
en->say("1000", SSG_ANY, SSM_PRONOUNCED, SST_MESSAGES, NULL, NULL, 0);
switch_ivr_play_file(session, NULL, "/sounds/msgs.wav", NULL, NULL, NULL, 0);

 
Thoughts?
