Reading numbers

[evanl@peopleclues.com]

When I write VXML for the user to verify the information they have entered, for example Store ID: 11111, the TTS read it as Eleven thousand, 1 hundred and 11. Is there a way to make it read the digits individually?

The easiest way is to separate the digits with spaces or commas. Another way that may work with certain TTS engines is the IVR tag, <say-as>.

Sample IVR code:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <block>
      <prompt>
        Acronym is spelled:
        <say-as type="acronym">
          acronym
        </say-as>
      </prompt>
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml>

which will sound like, "Acronym is spelled: A C R O N Y M."
