Hi Mathieu,

I have been trying to use mod_cepstral.  I had trouble with it hanging and needing to restart freeswitch after funning only a few hours.

MC suggested that I try tts_commandline to see if that worked better.  I did and found I did not have any issues doing cepstral this way.

However, my need is to be able to feed a text file to Swift instead of sending the text on the command line.  I have tried using a -f switch as Swift allows, but it seems that tts_commandline does not support this option.

mod_tts_commandline only work with text as a ARG. ${text} is replaced by the actual string, quoted (for security reasons).

Am I missing something here or is there another way of doing this?

You probably want to use cepstral as a system command (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_commands#system) and the playback (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_playback).

Following is a piece of a trace from the log.

It seems to almost build the swift command correctly.  However, the -f option is inside the single quotes, instead of outside of them like the -o (output file) is.

I don't think it is finding the .txt file, as the log later shows that it is trying to speak the filename including the -f option, instead of the contents of the file.

Thanks
