| Description: | The comment in the readme about extensions to the evaluation engine are (it seems to me) false, and unless something solid can be inserted as far as a reference to a bug on bugs.digium.com, or the URL of a file that can be picked up, I suggest deleting the item, or at least replacing it with something else. Here's the offending item: 2) My patches to asterisk that provide variable substitution and quoting to the Asterisk Extension Logic. This is not really a requirement, but without this, app_festival is mostly useless (you could very well use prerecorded voices for static information). I couldn't find any such references in the bug database, in the source, and no-one responded to my query in the dev mailing list. Not a good sign. Nor did the README contain any trace of who wrote it. --Perhaps something like this could be stated instead: 2. You may wish to obtain and install the asterisk-perl module by James Golovich <james@gnuinter.net>, from either CPAN, or his site: http://asterisk.gnuinter.net, as this contains a good example of how variable text can be tts'd via asterisk, namely the examples/tts-*.agi files there. It has been noted that the current expression evaluation capabilities of asterisk are not best suited for the generation and manipulation of text. AGI scripting can be ideal for these sorts of needs. For simpler usage, fixed, pre-recorded messages may be more amenable for your purposes. -- What do you think? That's my 2 cents! murf | ||
