Synopsis

Syntax

   SayPhonetic(text)

Description

Sequentially plays each file /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/phonetic/character_p.gsm for each character in text. Essentially, this command spells the text outloud using the NATO Phonetic Alphebet.

This also checks some other directories such as /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/.

It appears to replace some characters with descriptive words for instance, if a period (.) is the next character, it will search for "dot_p.gsm".

This command is available only in CVS > 2004-05-03.
