Asterisk config say.conf

say.conf

This Asterisk config file describes internationalised forms of digits, dates and numbers. It is available in v1.4.

The syntax is similar to the dialplan regexp syntax.

From the config file:

; The new language routines produce strings of the form
;	prefix:[format:]data
; that are matched against the rules in this file to produce
; an output.
;
; The data is generally the string to be spelled (either a number,
; an ascii string or a date/time in the format specified below).
; It is available, in the right hand side of a rule, as variable ${SAY}.
;
; The format is optional and normally used only for date/time.
; The prefix is used to select the pronunciation - standard
; prefixes are
;	num		used for numbers
;	enum		used for enumerations
;	date 		for dates
;	time 		for times
;	datetime	for dates and times
;	char		for character strings
;	phonetic	for phonetic strings
;	digit		for digit strings
;
; but others can be used at will.
;
; Processing occurs as follows:
; If the format is empty, or there is no format, the entire
; string is matched against one of the pattern on the left hand side.
; On the first match, the various comma-separated components on the right
; hand side are pronounced, as follows:
; + a component starting with a prefix: (i.e. with a ':' in it)
;   is re-processed according to these rules;
; + a component without a ':' in it is considered a filename and
;   the corresponding file is played.
;
; If the format is non-empty, the format is split into its components
; (individual characters, or filenames in single quotes), and then
; filenames are played, whereas single characters are used to
; generate a new string format:pat:data to be processed.
;
; DATES/AND TIMES assume that the date info is available in
; the form	 YYYYMMDDHHmm.ss-dow-doy
; with 4 digits for the year, 2 for month, day, hour, minutes, seconds,
; one digit for the day-of-week, and 3 digits for the day-of-year.
;
; Example:
;     datetime::200604172030.00-4-102
; (typical format for a date) is first matched against the line
;	datetime::. => date:AdBY 'digits/at' IMp:${SAY}
; which is normally present with the default format for dates.
; In turn, the format string "AdBY 'digits/at' IMp" results in
; the sequence
;	date:A:200604172030.00-4-102
;	date:d:200604172030.00-4-102
;	date:B:200604172030.00-4-102
;	date:Y:200604172030.00-4-102
;	digits/at
;	date:I:200604172030.00-4-102
;	date:M:200604172030.00-4-102
;	date:p:200604172030.00-4-102
;
; 
; Remember, normally X Z N are special, and the search is
; case insensitive, so you must use [X] [N] [Z] .. if you
; want exact match.
