Description:I'm developing a list of words & phrases that would be useful for weather, home automation, and APRS applications.  I'm attaching my current list.  I don't think I included any words or phrases that are already in 'asterisk' or 'asterisk-sounds' in CVS.  Open to suggestions...

I've cut these from other samples, but they don't sound very good, so clean ones would be great:

"has been brutally murdered and mutilated by the Teletubbies. "

"To request a wakeup call..."
"To confirm a wakeup call..."
"To cancel a wakeup call..."

"Enter a time using 4 digits.  Start with a zero for hours less than ten."  (this one could be worded better -- suggestions?)

"Press 1 for A.M, or 2 for P.M." (could piece this together from other parts, I guess)

"You have requested a wakeup call for..."

"You have not requested a wakeup call."

"Your wakeup call has been cancelled."

"Thank you for your cooperation."
"The computer is your friend."
"Asterisk is your friend."
"A man walks into a bar, sits down and .. welcome to Comedian Mail."
"You have dialled the wrong number."
"This is not the extension you are looking for."
"Please hold while we try to connect you."
"We're all busy with our hangovers."
"All lines are full of complaining customers."
By: mjohnston (mjohnston) 2004-03-04 10:50:20.000-0600

"If you have a rotary phone, please stay on the line after the menu."
"Thank you for calling."
"Please listen carefully to the following system status message."

To allow voicemail or callback on a full queue (extends the existing single message):
"All of our representatives are currently busy."
"Please leave a message after the tone and a representative will contact you as soon as possible."
"Please stay on the line and your call will be answered by the next available representative."
"To be called back when a representative is available, press--" "--now".

General info collection:
"Please enter your ten-digit telephone number, area code first." (goes with the previous 'to be called back' message)
"Please enter your--"
"--digit account number, skipping any punctuation, followed by the pound key."
By: robf (robf) 2004-03-04 12:28:47.000-0600

A full list of:
"Press 1"
"Press 2"
including:
"Press star"
"Press pound"
(I know these can be build with vm-press and separate digits, so prioritize these low, but I think they would sound better in a lot of cases)

"For a wakeup call..."
"Wakeup call"
"This is your wakeup call."
"To snooze for 5 minutes..."
"To snooze for 10 minutes..."
"To snooze for 15 minutes..."
"To snooze for..."

robf:

We already have "for accounting", "for billing", and "for technical support" recorded - what about following that scheme, and using the existing numbers?  The files would be broken up like this:

"To snooze for 5 minutes" "press" "1"
"For 10 minutes" "press" "2"

That saves re-recording each digit with 'press' before it.
By: robf (robf) 2004-03-04 12:55:50.000-0600

Ok, so put it low on the priority list, but I think it would be handy to have -- it would flow more smoothly, and it would be quicker.

I'll modify the note above to reflect a broken-up snooze message, rather than one long one...
By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2004-03-04 13:59:19.000-0600

Note that "four" "ten" "minutes" are already all recorded.  Note also that as GSM files have no headers, you can concatenate them to produce single files of
phrases, e.g.:

cat digits/4.gsm digits/10.gsm loligo/minutes.gsm > for10minutes.gsm

So you really only need "press" and "snooze".
By: digger_one (digger_one) 2004-03-04 14:39:05.000-0600

I would like to see "minus" be added (for us living with Celcius degrees and cold winters).
By: cloos (cloos) 2004-03-04 15:12:14.000-0600

"For english, press"

or perhaps:

"To continue in english, press"

is better.

I presume the equiv in other langs would be best done by whomever is doing the rest of the recordings in said lang, yes?
By: Tilghman Lesher (tilghman) 2004-03-04 15:45:51.000-0600

In regards to "minus", note that we already have "negative".  Is that close enough?  If not, suppose we get "plus", "times", "divided by", and "equals" at the same time.  ;-)  And maybe we go _really_ off the deep end and get sine, cosine, tangent, square root, log, natural log, exponent, and factorial?

Using the phone system as a calculator.  Isn't that sick?  ;-)

Negative is not close enough. "Ten degrees minus" sounds better. :)

Sounds are back from Allison this morning; I have yet to chop them up and convert to GSM but that should be hopefully today or tomorrow.

This is the list that finally went out to her, after edits (the parts labelled "guitar solo" are not actually played):

And now I notice that I've been a total lamer and not even noticed the attached .txt file on this message.  :(  I guess it will have to wait for another round with Allison - my profuse apologies.
By: John Todd (jtodd) 2004-03-25 13:32:57.000-0600

OK, I've finally gotten through the chopping up of this HUGE file.  I have no idea why the system re-named the files to "7.tar.gz" and "7.txt" - I had originally titled them "allison-7.tar.gz" and "allison-7.txt" but I suppose mantis has a mind of it's own.

So, as I noted previously, I missed quite a few phrases (the included file on this bugnote) but you'll find the usual number of easter eggs, including the full lyrics to "Louie, Louie."
By: twisted (twisted) 2004-04-18 02:02:15

markster - this can be added to asterisk-sounds package.  Let's move the files in the gz into there, and then we can move the requests and wishlists to a place other than the bugtracker from now on.
By: Mark Spencer (markster) 2004-05-01 18:51:34

Added to asterisk-sounds CVS.  Thanks!

Oh, and one request for whoever does the next batch:

"If you are calling from a rotary phone, please go buy a new phone and call us back."
