Social Security Number

Class Name:

Description

This Say It Smart type handles the reading of a 9-digit social security number. Many times, a social security number may appear with dashes after the third and fifth digits. To avoid having to process the data before it is sent to the plug-in, it will understand the social security number with these optional dashes, though no punctuation other than dashes is allowed. It reads it back digit-by-digit, inserting 150 millisecond pauses after the third and fifth digits.

The plug-in Java class can easily be extended to create, in just a few lines of code, a new plug-in performing the same function with a different pause length or additional formatting options.

This fileset contains ten files: 0 through 9. It is the only fileset required.

Audio Files


Note
The silence file is used when Use Recorded Audio is selected and when there is no TTS engine in the deployment. The recorded audio requires silence pauses be inserted between digits. These pauses are inserted automatically if using a TTS engine. If you do not have a TTS engine in your deployment, then copy the silence file to the same location on your media server as the number files. The silence file must be 150ms in duration.
