How to activate my allison voice?

[WM: swift –reg-voice ]

Also if you are using Asterisk 1.6.2, be sure to apply the patch that Jeremy has supplied also.

[WM: http://pbxinaflash.net/source/app_swift/ ]

[WM: The ISN is 1234*1061. If you don’t hear anything, then try the SIP URI: 1234@sip.pbxinaflash.com. If neither works, then your system is not configured for SIP call routing. If the latter works but not the ISN, then your system is not properly configured for ISN call routing.]

[WM: Haven’t looked at the license in a while, but my recollection is that port licenses only were required for commercial use.]

I have noticed a bug in app_swift v1.4.2. I have installed asterisk on Ubuntu Server 8.04 and I installed app_swift v1.4.2.

I have noticed the following anomalies
1) When i set the application to accept a single DTMF input and the text is still being played and I press a digit on the phone, the speech stops, and I receive a string with lots of digits with the first digit being the one I pressed. eg: Swift(Press 5 numbers|5000|5). I pressed ‘1′ and I read the following in SWIFT_DTMF “1390876″, where ‘1′ is valid and the rest i think is a memory problem.

2) If i set the Swift application to receive more than 1 DTMF input and i start to enter digits while the speech is still not completed, the the first digit of the input get replaced by the last one. eg:
Swift(Press 5 numbers|5000|5). I press 12345 and i SWIFT_DTMF contains 52345. I think this is because of memory/pointer address problem.

I do not know who to report this bug to. So i thought i would leave this here.

by editing the ls.so.conf and added the line /opt/swift/lib asterisk then finds the library libswift.so.5

I then got the set voice error fixed this be setting looking up what voice i had by.

/opt/swift/bin/swift –voices

this shows that I downloaded Lawrence-8kHz then edit the /etc/astersik/swift.conf

to show.

voice=Lawrence-8kHz

then modify the extensions.conf to call and use the swift appliaction then buy the licence and your done.

However, I’m running CentOS on my production server. In the Asterisks remote client I’m getting:

ERROR[17500]: app_swift.c:240 swift_exec: Failed to set voice

This command works:

asterisk -rx "core show application swift"

The voice is set in the swift.conf and running swift from the command line seems to be working fine (although I’m not positive I’m getting sound out of the box, its remote, but swift "foo" -t reads back the lines). Anyone have any ideas?

[WM: Try it. Most keys will work. Only difference is screen size, I think.]

yum install asterisk-devel

that worked for me.

[WM: Correct. Here’s a thread that will walk you through the process with trixbox 2.4.x systems.]

you really mean that the PBX will speak trough the sound card to the speakers?

because i get no sound…

[WM: If you plug speakers into a soundcard on your Linux system running PBX in a Flash and issue the swift command at the command prompt, the text-to-speech sounds will play through the attached speakers. Be sure you have the speakers plugged into the green jack on your sound card. Some sound cards also require self-powered speakers which might also explain the lack of sound. Our reference system is the $199 WalMart special manufactured by Everex. It works on those systems out of the box.]

[WM: There are tutorials to add Asterisk source to trixbox and upgrade it. But, once you do that, it’s my understanding that you’ve broken future upgrades through their repository. I’ve heard there’s another distribution that’s a bit more open with a lot more source available. You might want to give it a try.]

Hope this helps…
