How do I use TTS to speak a number as digits?

Can I do this:

<say-as type="number: digits">
<value expr="cg_pin"/>
</say-as>

if I'm using the AT&T Natural Voices TTS engine?

If not, how do I do it?

Thanks...Scott

Hi Scott,

The <say-as type="number: digits"> tag will only work correctly with the Cepstral and RealSpeak TTS engines. To achieve the same result with AT&T you would use <say-as type="acronym">.

Please be aware that the acronym tag type works in the US but does not work in the UK. If you are using AT&T Natural Voices and you want to say back digits in the UK you would have to use commas inside of a string such as “1, 2, 3, 4, 5”.

You can find more information about the say-as tag and TTS engine compatibility in our documentation: http://www.plumvoice.com/docs/dev/devel ... erence:tts

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Plum Support
