Hello, Im new with Call studio abd Im still doing my research and trying to trace the Audio and Say-it-smart codes, but if you could point me where I should start looking, it would be a big help.

We need to create a custom Audio/Say-It-Smart element that accepts a delimited string of numbers (ex: 1-2-10-12) and the Initial Audio Group we will choose Say It Smart (instead of Audio File/TTS) and in the Type is Digit-By-Digit, and the plug in can say "one" "two" "ten" "twelve".

In the standard element, we can only give a string of numbers (without delimiters) and it will read 121012 as "one", "two", "one, zero" (should  be read ten), "one, two" (should be read twelve)

Thank you!

This is an off-the-cuff reply, but check the Say-It-Smart reference/developer guide. You will need to do some manipulation of the string to add delimiters (I believe it needs to be the pipe "|") in order to speak out the double-digit numbers individually.

Hi Ruzel , You must either write your own say it smart to have it ignore the dashes and play each entry as a number; or write an element that will give you back each substring between the dashes, then use the Number say it smart to speak that part of the code.

Thanks Janine and Bill for the quick reply.

@Bill.I am now looking through the Say it Smart Reference guide, I didnt know they had one specifially for this plug in. I will see how the "|" delimiter could work for me. Thanks!

@Janine. This is the second custom element I will be creating, (and two revisions on current custom elements we have) and I must say I have learned a lot from your post (speciall on custom DB element) so thank you for that as well.

I finally pulled out the Standard Audio Element Code (im still checking jar per jar for codes lol) and I am still figuring out how the Audio elements passes the String to the Say It Smart Plugin. Im sure I will get to this later, and then I will know how I can apply your two brilliant suggestion (I like the element to parse the dashes and use Number Say-It-Smart).

Thank you again and I will post whatever method I use (or errors that I will have) here to make it available for anyone else probably having the same questions I have.

So I have made a custom plugin and it is showing up in Builder. My convertToFiles method goes like this:

public SayItSmartContent convertToFiles(Object dataAsObject, String inputFormat, String outputFormat, String fileset) throws SayItSmartException {
/*  80 */     validateArguments(dataAsObject, inputFormat, outputFormat, fileset);
/*     */
/*  82 */     String data = dataAsObject.toString().trim();
/*     */
/*  84 */     String[] parsedNum = data.split("-");
/*  85 */     SayItSmartContent toReturn = new SayItSmartContent();
/*  86 */     for (int i = 0; i < parsedNum.length; ++i) {
/*  87 */       if (parsedNum.matches("[0-9]+")) {
/*  88 */         toReturn.add(parsedNum, (String)NUMBERS.get(parsedNum), false);
/*     */       }
/*     */     }
/*  91 */     return toReturn;
/*     */   }

But it is giving the error:

ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States,enter,
ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States,custom,ActiveBBs,2-
ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States,custom,errorFlag,0
ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States,exit,done
ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States_Decision,enter,
ALL_BB_Action_Get_BB_States_Decision,exit,Success
ALL_BB_Action_Play_Active_BB,enter,
ALL_BB_Action_Play_Active_BB,element,error,A built-in element encountered an exception of type com.audium.server.xml.ElementConfigException.
ALL_BB_Action_Play_Active_BB,exit,
,element,error,

Any ideas?
And also, for debugging purposes, can anybody tell me how I can write to logfile from a plugin? From the custome element, i use the actionData.addlog but this is not available in the plugin so I am not sure how.

Thanks!

In your code toReturn.add(parsedNum, (String)NUMBERS.get(parsedNum), false);
where is NUMBERS defined? Looks like a hashmap or something.

The SayItSmarts aren't passed the SessionAPI - so they can't write to the activity log.
Use System.out.println for debugging - it prints to Tomcat/logs/stdout

Yes, correct, its the same NUMBERS hashmap that the standard SayItSmartNumbers used. I actually based my code on that module.

Thanks for the  Tomcat/logs/stdout - I was wondering where it will print out

Hi Janine, I came across one of your post in this forum wherein you made a plugin :JaninesAlphanumSayItSmartLowerCase

I just want to ask some points:

1. in your convertToFiles method, you put a " " after the theString. Do we need to put space everytime?
String theString = data.substring(i,i+1);
toReturn.add(theString, theString+" ", false);

2. Your fileset:
toReturn.addFileset("filesetLower","LowerCase File Names","");

As I understood it, the filesets is something configured in the system. (Or am I wrong?) Does this mean you have a fileset named filesetLower for you to be able to use this fileset?

3. We both used  for loop to put the characters inside toReturn, something that I wasnt sure that would work until I saw your code Does this mean, that we are actually putting the audio file filename and the say it smart plug in will take care of playing it back to the caller? - if that is the case, can I use fileset "none" (saw in Literal - Custom Content) since we have all the number (1-99) audio files?

I am unable to test the code until tomorrow afternoon as our non prod is down currently so any inputs would be appreciated while I wait to see how the fileset = none will work. Thanks!

1.The job of SIS is to return a list of audio files and TTS backup using toReturn.add(file, TTS, boolean) for each audio file.
The vxml server then adds the Default Audio Path and file extension based upon the selection in the GUI Say it Smart window about whether or not to use Default AUdio path, type of audio file (.wav).

2. I use the space " " in case a person using the Say it Smart does NOT specify to use Recorded Audio - if they're just using TTS. With TTS only, the Say it Smart needs to add a space, otherwise it would result in <prompt>SMITH</prompt> instead of <prompt>S M I T H</prompt>     

3. Fileset just gives the user an option of selecting different possible ways for the system to speak the audio. For example, you could have the same files recorded in male or female voices. So you coudl have Filesets named 'male' or 'female'.   It's up to who ever uses your Say it Smart to ensure they've recorded all the required audio files and have them on the media server. In your case, 0-99 are already there, so you should name the display name of the fileset "Numbers 0-99"  For the real name, just use "numbers"    toReturn.addFileset("numbers","Numbers 0-99", "description");

In my case, I wanted to give the user a choice depending upon whether their audio files are Upper case (A.wav, B.wav, C.wav) or lower case (a.wav,  b.wav, c.wav). IIS isn't case sensitive, but Apache and Tomcat are.

Use the Studio debugger, and see what  audio URI's are being created.

Enable debug logging or turn on http client error debugging in your gateway (debug http client error).  Use term mon to see the gateway output and you should see the exact prompt urls that are 404'ing.

Was just able to test the custom SIS and it seems it cannot find the media file.
I was able to print in log the data being received and its correct. I checked in the folder and wav files are there.

I will be searching for this in cisco docs but if anyone gets here before me that knows the answer, can you tell me where or how I can check what path the system is referring to when looking for the wav files.

Or is there anything I should be looking into at?

These is my SIS setting and itbasically parses the input and returns it.

toReturn.addInputFormat("input", "1-2-10-11", "");
toReturn.addOutputFormat("output","Numbers","");
toReturn.addFileset("numbers","Numbers 0-99","");

public SayItSmartContent convertToFiles(Object dataAsObject, String inputFormat, String outputFormat, String fileset) throws SayItSmartException  {
  //validateArguments(dataAsObject, inputFormat, outputFormat, fileset);
     SayItSmartContent toReturn = new SayItSmartContent();
 
     String data = dataAsObject.toString().trim();
  System.out.println("(FILESET_None) Shaw SIS - Data received: " + data );
  String[] parsedNum = data. split("-");
 
  for (int i = 0; i < parsedNum.length; i++){
   System.out.println("(FILESET_None) Shaw SIS - Parsed Input: " +  i + " - "+parsedNum);    toReturn.add(parsedNum, parsedNum+" ", false);

Thanks @Steve and @Janine, I still have to study how to use debugger or turn on http client error debugging so that would be my next step.
I was trying to trace via code what java code accepts the list of filenames the system is supposed to play but cannot find it. I found out that the developer specified path as:

http://{Data.Session.mediaserver}/en/sys

without the "/" in the end. Would this rresult in :

http://{Data.Session.mediaserver}/en/sys2.wav
or would the plugin knows to append "/" in the URI?

Woohoo!! Its working now finally.

It turns out there there is an wav file that was not in the server and we saw it because we turned on http debugging in gateway (thank you Steve) and saw that apart from the list of audio files the say it smart plugin was trying to play is actually another wav file that was not on the server.

I would have to learn how to use the Studio Debugger as per Janine's suggestion. Im sure its going to save me alot of time in the future.
Thanks everyone!
