[Freeswitch-users] Speech Phrases

[Brian Foster]

MC,

Thanks for the info. I do indeed want to use the say app because all the
speech needs to sound extremely clear. TTS is out of the question. I've
been meaning to pick up the freeswitch book (and now the cookbook) so I
will be doing that soon. I'm using my own voice now but I will end up
trying to hire Callie from GM voices to complete the set if this becomes
more than just a hypothetical situation. I'm envisioning something
extremely cool and sort of out of the normal use of FreeSWITCH. Stay tuned,
this could be a really cool project.

Thanks!
