Free Asterisk Voice Prompts
The following Asterisk prompts where done a year or so ago. I did it for my company using my Wife “Jules”. She was a teacher for “English as a second language” students. In my opinion she has a very clean voice which works very well for prompts.

Asterisk Voice Prompts – Australian Female
NOTE: these are in RAW format. ulaw files must be removed for these to work.
Ie:
for ARG in `find /var/lib/asterisk/sounds -name “*.raw” -print`
do
echo $ARG
NAME=`echo “$ARG” | cut -d’.’ -f1`
echo $NAME
/bin/rm -f $NAME.gsm
/bin/rm -f $NAME.ulaw
done

Hello, I would like these asterisk voice files but is it necessary to use .Z format?
2 James Gardiner // Jul 28, 2008 at 11:36 pm
.Z is the older and more common unix compression format. use the command “uncompress” or use the tar extract command.
“tar xvzf file.tar.Z” the “z” file means uncompress the input file.

Thanks very much for providing these. Are you able to tell me the sampling rate, or anything else that will assist with conversion to GSM or other?

Thanks for these. they sound great. but can someone please help me execute the removal of equivilent gsm files – for ARG in `find /var/lib…..etc.

The files can be played back @ 8000Hz 16-bit mono 128kb/s in Euphony Free Player. Hope this helps.

you don’t have to delete any files, just put these new files in a subdirectory called au under the sounds directory, and make sure you language is set to au in sip/iax/chan_dahdi.conf

Thankyou, that is so much nicer than the default woman.

this short script will convert the raw files to gsm using sox. you can change gsm to anything else by substituting another format, like wav. They are 16bit 8KHz signed audio files.
for RAW in `ls *.raw`; do echo “converting ${RAW}”; sox -r 8000 -c 1 -S -b 16 -e signed ${RAW} -t gsm -r 8000 -c 1 ${RAW}.gsm; echo “OK”; done

I guess I should mention that the filenames will be all wrong with that script, so you can either rename them manually to remove the .raw or use this script instead:
#!/bin/bash
#16bit 8KHz signed
for RAW in `ls *.raw`; do
echo “converting ${RAW}”
NEWFILE=`basename ${RAW} .raw`
sox -r 8000 -c 1 -S -b 16 -e signed ${RAW} -t gsm -r 8000 -c 1 ${NEWFILE}.gsm
echo “OK”
done
