You'll need to deploy a text-to-speech (TTS) engine for use with Incredible PBX 2026. A number of them are documented on Nerd Vittles.

@jrglass: Just tested SpeechGen which still works flawlessly. Tutorial is here.

$9.99 buys you 130,000 characters of TTS at current rates with the NV setup.

Just create an API key in your Profile and then follow the steps in the tutorial above with your API Key and Email Address.

947 Weather and 951 News Headlines both work great. Enjoy!

do u use standard or pro? How many units on average our used? which voice do you have?

It's standard which sounds great. You can count up the number of characters in the text and subtract from 130,000.

Voice is shown and can be changed when you plug in your credentials in speechgen.php.

Installing Lenny is a little trickier for Incredible PBX 2026. Here are the steps.

From the Debian CLI as root:

Code: 
fwconsole ma downloadinstall https://filedn.com/lBgbGypMOdDm8PWOoOiBR7j/IncrediblePBX2026/itslenny.tar.gz
mysql -u root -ppassw0rd asterisk -e "UPDATE itslenny SET enable = 'CHECKED';"
# if you want to Record Lenny calls, uncomment next line
# mysql -u root -ppassw0rd asterisk -e "UPDATE itslenny SET record = 'CHECKED';"
fwconsole reload
cd /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/en
ln -s /var/www/html/admin/modules/itslenny/sounds/lenny lenny

From the FreePBX GUI as admin:

1. Create Custom Destination under Admin tab
Target: app-nv-itslenny,s,1
Description: Lenny
Return: No
Submit -> Apply Config

2. Delete User Extension 53669

3. Create a Misc Application under Applications tab
Description: Lenny
Feature Code: 53669
Destination: Custom Destination -> Lenny
Submit -> Apply Config

Usage: Dial 53669 or forward incoming call to 53669

I thought I did it right but it doesn't work. Does this also need TTS? I bought it but still waiting for the API key to show up.

Click to expand...
NoCDR() was deprecated in Asterisk 12 and removed in Asterisk 21. It won't work in current versions of Asterisk.
 
@jrglass: I wouldn't know how to tell you where to start debugging all of this. First of all, the API key doesn't show up. You create it as I noted above: "Just create an API key in your Profile and then follow the steps in the tutorial above with your API Key and Email Address."

Second, you've got a typo in the Misc Application. It's 53669 (spells "LENNY") not 536693.

Go through ALL the steps again and see what you've missed.
