Is there a way to use gTTS instead of Watson for voicemail transcription too?

pip install –upgrade pip # failed to work the first time

pip3 install –upgrade pip # this worked well enough, then I reran the command that preceded it, and everything is working.

I dialed 951 and noticed the difference right away.

Is it possible to generate .mp3 or .wav files to use as IVRs with gTTS?

[WM: Certainly possible to generate .wav files. See the gtts.php file in /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin. An even better solution for one-time payment of $27 is SpeechVID with 304 commercial-quality voices in 44 languages. ]

FYI. Raspbian has not been the correct name for more than a year. Raspberry Pi OS or RPi OS are what you should be writing. See eg https://www.kitguru.net/tech-news/christopher-nohall/raspbian-changes-name-to-raspberry-pi-os/
