I would recommend using subfolders beneath /var/lib/asterisk/sounds, e.g. /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/TTS etc. you can configure another sounddirectory in the asterisk conf files, but it is valid for ALL soundfiles (prompts etc.). > > that means I have to store the voice file return by TTS software to > the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ and then use play it, all when the > caller is online!!!I think its a time taking process? yes, thats right... but time taking process...? no, not really... what kind of TTS engine are you using? an online service or a serverside engine? I wrote an IVR using an online TTS and all the process of generating and retrieving the file, converting it and storing it in the right place was (of course depending on length and bandwith) a matter of less than one second. caching generated files (if the text is the same, it has not to be generated over and over again) and producing them in advance or while playing a prompt does "speed up" the process even more... I have developed a simple cashing mechanism... build a md5 of the text that has to be generated and see, if a file with that name exists... if yes, its there and can be played, if not, generate it, store it under the md5 filename and than it is there for now and for future use... > > What is the best way to integrate TTS with my java program? I have done with cepstral for linux as well as with google and with AT&T (both online...) AT&T has the best voice quality and natural sounding voices. Depending on Bandwith an offline solution is probably preferrable. > > And what if my Java server and asterisk server are not in same > physical system. > Do I have to copy the soundFile from java server to asterisk server > may be using nfs or gufer? you could mount the TTS-folder on the other machine via nfs and set the mount point beneath the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds folder...
