[arm-allstar] Question

Fri Aug 28 10:29:57 EST 2015

Can you take the script or the code from the auto configure script that parses the call sign and make that a script by it self that calls combined.shell to automatically parse a text file and produce a GSM file automatically?

Any gsm file and be combined but you have to specify the files in the script. This is mainly for forming a call ID but any gsm text could be combine from the Allison library. There is more on this in the tts how-to.

Please do not remove the TTS support as the feature works if an. Amater wants to spend dollars.  Maybe just remove the Google TTS option from the auto configure scripts.

Are they the same type of file but with a clever script That parcels the call sign ? If so what script is it and can it be used for  other messages?

We will no longer be able to use it on either the BBB or RPi2. This mostly effects the weather scripts which depended on it heavily but is also used to setup the voice ID if you select TTS voice at setup.

When you get to the ID either select CW or simple gsm voice ID, NOT tts. Continue through the script to the end. Your ID should now be what you changed it to. You may need to do an astres.sh to restart Asterisk but I don't think that is necessary.

Remember you are combining Allison voices together so the words or letters have to be in the Asterisk sounds directories. Then run the script to create a custom gsm voice file. You then call this file from rpt.conf
