I am having trouble getting the web interface for IVM to work well for me. I can log in just fine, but when I click "Play" the results are less than satisfactory. Using Internet Explorer every time I click play I get a dialogue box with Filename: play File type: (blank) From: (my server name) and I'm asked if I want to open or save the file. When I click "Open" I'm then asked which application I want to use to open the file. When I use Firefox and click on "Play" it automatically uses Quicktime to play the message, but only plays the first 10 seconds or so of the message.

FYI I am using version 3.01 of IVM.

Any ideas/suggstions on how to get this to work better?

Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with the Microsoft text-to-speech. If I give it a number

(123) 456-7890, it will recognize that this is a phone number and say, "Area code one, two, three.... four, five, six.... seven, eight, nine, zero."

 

If I give it 123-456-7890, it reads, "One, two three.... four, five, six.... seven, eight, nine, zero."

 

If I give it 1234567890 (the format of Caller ID in the U.S.), it reads, "one billion, two hundred thirty four million,...."

 

IVM simply needs to a quick check (and change, if necessary)  of the number format before handing it off to the text-to-speech.

Thanks for providing a great summary of the problem and how NCH can fix it in a future release. Has this been filed as a suggestion?

FYI, I tried a different text-to-speech engine that did a find job of reading the numbers correctly, but it then did a horrible job of all other text.

It would be nice if the Microsoft engine had an option for reading numbers as a "full" number or as "digits".
