System TTS reading speed - UCCX 8.5

[greglowe1329]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for a way of slowing down the reading speed of a Float variable when using the the prompt shortcuts: N[FloatVariable].

Can anyone comment if this is possible or if not if this can be achieved through other means?

What you are calling TTS is actually just a directory full of pre-recorded words and sounds.

True TTS would be like a Nuance integration with a Premium license.  And I'm positive you can control the speed and pitch with Nuance.  That's can get expensive though.

At any rate, if you are playing back a dollar amount, the best you can do is break up the audio yourself, and play each token with a customizeable delay inbetween.

Here's what I mean:

Play Prompt (N[10] + DP[500] + SP[gen/currency/usd] + DP[500] +sp[gen/currency/and] + DP[500] +N[3] + DP[500] +sp[gen/currency/cents])

Of course it's not just that easy.  You'll just need to script two things:

1. You'll need to script a solution which takes a floating point number (with a floor and ceiling) and converts it to its many parts, separating each part with a delay prompt.

2. Figure out where the system prompts are.  E.g., "Dollars", "and", and "cents" (or if localizing, those localized prompts E.g., "Pounds", "and", "pence")

That's the best I got.  Happy scripting!

Thanks Anthony, Seems excessive just to slow the reading speed but can only work with what the software can achieve right.

Might put in a feature request and see what happens

Thanks again, I better start scripting..

No problem. And you're right. We work with what we have. Good luck.
