Free Asterisk Voice Prompts
NOTE: 2011-04-11 – This is a very old set of prompts now. They may not match up exactly with what is currectly available with Asterisk. Please make use of it as you like. I have no intent to updating these files.

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.
You may use this for commercial use, however, we reserve the rights to request it not be used.
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

G’day and thanks, great voices.
Please email me if you are every coming to my part of the world.
Only been playing around with this for a short time (less then a month) but I am getting the hand of it. (sort of)
Here how I got it to work on AsteriskNOW
deleted everything in /mnt/ntserver/sounds
I mounted a NAS from the Server to get the files across from the windows world
cp /mnt/ntserver/sounds/* /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cp /mnt/ntserver/sounds/digits/* /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cp /mnt/ntserver/sounds/letters/* /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
cp /mnt/ntserver/sounds/phonetic/* /var/lib/asterisk/sounds
go to web interface

Asterisk IAX
ASTERISK SIP
And set language to au

This download is quite old now. Maybe it is an incompatability with new versions. It has been downloaded and used many times without others having this error.
Do some more digging.

Some of the names have changed, and it’s missing some of the conference names, eg:
conf-waitforleader

Um.. really, this is very old now..
I am not going to update so just use what you can…
