I'm going to try and put together a sounds set from the freeswitch phrase file and will submit back to project. In my case, even if the word-to-word transitions are not as uniform as callie, it will allow my custom prompts to have the same voice as the system prompts. -- Nathan On 12/01/2016 04:58 AM, Vladyslav Zakhozhai wrote:

could also just get her to record your custom prompts too one time and then you get the best of both.

Nathan: If you can save your code/script/whatever so that someone can pull together a set in one of the other 5-6 speakers or translate it and get in another language, that might be helpful! -Avi
Definitely. I was planning on mapping the current phrase files to possible voices and generating a set of audio for at least for all of the languages that AWS Polly currently supports. -- Nathan On 12/01/2016 09:01 AM, Avi Marcus wrote:

English voices are great, specially Jeane. Spanish voices are really bad. Can't really judge the rest. Guillermo On Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 12:19 PM, Nathan Neulinger <nneul@mst.edu> wrote:

They specifically call out that there are no restrictions for replaying or embedding in your applications. That's one of the pieces that makes this so ideal. ... You can cache and save Polly’s speech audio to replay offline or redistribute ... and lack of restrictions on storage and reuse of voice output, make .... -- Nathan On 12/02/2016 02:52 PM, Stanislav Sinyagin wrote:

I started building a proof of concept for Polly sounds for English. I thought that Matthew neural version sounded pretty good, and we don't have a Male voice (just 3x female voices). https://github.com/avimar/freeswitch-sounds-polly I don't have it automated to generate a whole set, but there's a bunch of samples. Also, can someone please chime in on downsampling... I assume we want direct PCM but that's only available up to 16000. (And you need to add a header to make it a normal readable wav) Mp3 an ogg are available at 24000. Not sure what the best way to get our samples are, I used sox and got a bunch of versions -- 8000 pcm direct from amazon, 16000, 16000 downsampled from the ogg.... I also haven't tested mod_say for numbers and currencies to see how it sounds... probably need to do something to make it flow better. -Avi Marcus BestFone On Thu, Dec 1, 2016 at 4:30 PM Nathan Neulinger <nneul@mst.edu> wrote:
