[Freeswitch-users] Speech Phrases

[Avi Marcus]

The usual method is to create phrases for everything you want.
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Speech_Phrase_Management with the
"play-file" function.

But if you frequently have things SAY is great for - numbers and spelling
out words - then you can modify as MC said.
