say
The say command is used to send synthesized speech to the remote party. The text provided may be either plain text or may use SSML tags. jambonz supports a large number of speech vendors out of the box (see list below), and you may add others via the custom speech API.
{
"verb": "say",
"text": "hi there!",
"synthesizer" : {
"vendor": "google",
"language": "en-US"
}
}
You can use the following options in the say action:
| option | description | required |
|---|---|---|
| text | text to speak; may contain SSML tags | yes |
| synthesizer.vendor | speech vendor to use (see list below, along with any others you add via the custom speech API) | no |
| synthesizer.language | language code to use. | no |
| synthesizer.gender | (Google only) MALE, FEMALE, or NEUTRAL. | no |
| synthesizer.voice | voice to use. Note that the voice list differs whether you are using aws or Google. Defaults to application setting, if provided. | no |
| loop | the number of times a text is to be repeated; 0 means repeat forever. Defaults to 1. | no |
