RealSpeak Engine Acrynom alternattive

[amitkhosla]

We are using RealSpeak TTS Engine and we have a requirement to promt user with some data that could be his phonenumber/telephone number. Actually this is his user-id.

we need to have something like this
<say-as type="acronym">9899498887</say-as>
<say-as type="acronym">xxx@xxx.com</say-as>

Please help me with some alternative of acronym in RealSpeak TTS engine

Hi,

As an alternative for acronym, you can use the IVR <say-as> type, "number:digits", for your purposes

For IVR example:

enterdigits.php

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <field name="englishdigits" type="digits?length=4">
      <prompt>
        Please enter some digits.
      </prompt>

      <filled>
        <prompt>
          You entered <say-as type="number:digits"><value expr="englishdigits"/></say-as>.
        </prompt>
      </filled>
    </field>
  </form>
</vxml> 

Hope this sample of IVR code helps.

Hi,

Here's an example of IVR code that demonstrates how you can do this within your IVR tag, <value>:

digits.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n");
?>
<vxml version="2.0">
  <form>
    <var name="variable" expr="'h1d3f4g5'"/>
    <block>  
      <prompt>
        Your variable is <value expr="variable.replace(/(.)/g, '$1, ')"/>.
      </prompt>
    </block>
  </form>
</vxml> 

Hope this helps.
