					<description><![CDATA[Unless you&#8217;ve been sleeping under a rock, you already know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform every aspect of our lives. The reasons are fairly obvious. AI can process and analyze massive amounts of data in seconds that humans could spend months and years collecting. AI is being used to develop new drugs and treatments, diagnose diseases, and provide personalized care to patients.

					<description><![CDATA[As continued use of FreePBX&#174; becomes more and more precarious because of deprecated components and looming incompatibility with Asterisk&#174; 21, the appeal of 3CX and VitalPBX as a VoIP platform becomes increasingly compelling. Whether you&#8217;re a home user, a small business, or a call center, VitalPBX provides a solution to meet your requirements. To make the transition a bit less painful, today we introduce a number of popular Incredible PBX applications for VitalPBX 4.

					<description><![CDATA[Over the years, we&#8217;ve covered numerous commercial and free text-to-speech (TTS) offerings for Asterisk&#174; including gTTS, PicoTTS, Amazon&#8217;s Polly TTS, IBM TTS, Google TTS, FLITE, and Festival. But SpeechGen&#8217;s commercial offering sets it apart both in terms of quality and cost. At a $9.99 price point for 100,000 characters with an easy-to-deploy AGI interface, SpeechGen is almost a perfect fit for Asterisk TTS applications.

Pick up any phone connected to your Asterisk system and dial T-O-D-A-Y (86329 for the spelling-impaired).

					<description><![CDATA[Telephony is all about person-to-person communications. But much of what we do in the real world involves gathering information from non-human sources. These include books, magazines, and newspapers as well as sources that provide real-time news, weather, sports scores, stock quotes, inventory and personnel data, reservation systems, and historical data from countless other sources. No modern phone system would be complete without providing an interface to this data and for that you&#8217;ll need a text-to-speech engine (TTS).

Well, so long as it&#8217;s for non-commercial use, today&#8217;s your lucky day. Apple&#8217;s Siri™ and Amazon&#8217;s Alexa™ demonstrated just how amazing this technology can be.

					<description><![CDATA[In a word, WOW! If you&#8217;ve previously used text-to-speech (TTS) applications with Incredible PBX™ or any other PBX, you fully appreciate the challenges of getting excellent voice quality from a synthesized voice. In addition to operating system quirks, you also had to scramble to find TTS software that had acceptable voice quality without breaking the bank. Well, it&#8217;s a new day with Incredible PBX 2021.

					<description><![CDATA[SECURITY ALERT: https://securityboulevard.com/2019/06/rce-using-caller-id-multiple-vulnerabilities-in-fusionpbx/ One of the first things you&#8217;ll need if you choose to migrate to FusionPBX and FreeSWITCH is voice prompts. You can record your own in FusionPBX using the Recordings application by dialing *732. Of course, your PBX will probably sound like you recorded your own prompts. 🙂 Our first recommendation is to always direct folks to Allison Smith whose voice prompts for Asterisk are legendary.

					<description><![CDATA[We frequently receive requests asking how best to create custom voice prompts to use with Asterisk&#174; or 3CX&#174; PBXs. Of course, our first recommendation is to always direct folks to Allison Smith whose voice prompts for Asterisk are legendary. But, for those on a tight budget, recordings by a professional voice talent may not be a viable option. So, today, in the Christmas spirit, we want to deliver the next best thing with synthesized voice prompts that are second to&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/creating-free-ibm-voice-prompts-for-asterisk-and-3cx/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve previously used text-to-speech (TTS) applications with Incredible PBX™ or any other PBX, you fully appreciate the challenges of getting excellent voice quality from a synthesized voice. In addition to operating system quirks, you also had to scramble to find TTS software that had acceptable voice quality without breaking the bank. Well, it&#8217;s a new day. Amazon&#8217;s introduction of Polly TTS provides not only incredible voice quality but it comes at an unbelievable price point.&#8230; <a class="read-more" href="https://nerdvittles.com/paradise-found-amazons-polly-tts-meets-incredible-pbx/">Read More &#8250;</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Eight years ago, we introduced transcription for Asterisk&#174; voicemail messages. When the messages were delivered by email, you got both a recording and the transcribed text courtesy of Google. As with most things Google, the licensing terms changed regularly and voicemail transcription became more convoluted until it became next to worthless. Today we begin our new exploration of IBM&#8217;s Watson Developer Cloud. It offers a rich collection of services at unbelievably low price points.

We racked our brain trying to come up with a simple way to explain all of the things that Ombutel can do. We finally concluded "a picture [really] is worth a thousand words!"
