[VoIP] New Asterisk Speaking Clock AGI

[Jayson Smith]

Hi,

     This topic has been dead for almost two years! I just called 263-2525 
yesterday afternoon, and see that apparently you haven't done a lot with it 
recently. Are you still planning at some point on making this code 
available? I've always wanted a truly accurate TOD service for Asterisk. I'd 
be interested in TIM-2000, except: A. it's apparently no longer available, 
B. it needs UK 50HZ AC power to keep time, and C. it sets itself with MSF, a 
UK time signal, instead of WWVB, the US equivalent. Has anyone ever thought 
of building a similar device for use in the US? I do have John Doyle samples 
available. Sadly, I know of no complete Jane Barbe speech sets that are 
available.
     On a somewhat related subject, I've always thought the Allison numbers 
and other similar words were spoken a bit slow for my liking. Are there good 
quality samples in existence where she speaks the numbers faster? I mean, 
where she *really* spoke them faster, not where someone's taken the normal 
samples and compressed them with a sound editor.
