| Festival( )
|
Uses the Festival text-to-speech engine to
read text to the caller
|
Festival(text[,intkeys])
Connects to the locally running Festival server,
sends it the text specified by text, and plays the
resulting sound file back to the user. This application allows the
caller to press a key (specified by intkeys) to
immediately stop the playback and return the value of
intkeys. If intkeys is set to
any, Festival( ) will send control of the channel
to the extension entered by the user.
See Chapter 10 for more
in-depth information on using Festival with Asterisk.
You must start the Festival server before
starting Asterisk, and you must use the Answer( )
application to answer the channel before calling Festival(
).
