Call till confirm and text to speech

Question:

Is it possible for the call_till_confirm function to use some sort of Text to Speech instead of a wav file?

Answer:

Yes, you can use the Message Designer to design your message template, then use that message for your broadcast. The template can have text-to-speech. If you are using the perl interface call_till_confirm, then you need to change the code a bit. Basically, you need to set the command line as:

vcast.exe -startnow -confirmcode

The should have the call list and the Message ID (template) selected.

The only problem with this approach is that the text-to-speech part cannot be dynamically generated. It must pre-exist in the voc file.

The only way to have a dynamically generated text-to-speech and call till confirm, you must implement it with Voicent Gateway. The best place to start is to go through the 2 online tutorials.
