Class Name:

com.audium.sayitsmart.plug-ins.AudiumSayItSmartString

Description

This Say It Smart type plays back the data sent as input in Text To Speech (TTS). Even when the Use Recorded Audio checkbox is checked in Call Studio, the output will be a TTS string containing the passed data. The input data is unmodified unless it contains characters not allowed in XML and the TTS content is not contained within CDATA (this occurs only on some supported voice browsers). These characters will then be converted to their escaped equivalents (for example "<" is converted to "&lt;").


Note
Important. In Call Studio and VXML Server substitution can be used within audio file names and TTS content, so one can do with substitution what this plug-in does. Additionally, a new Say It Smart plug-in type was introduced: Custom Content, that does what this plug-in does and more. As a result, this plug-in should be considered "deprecated". It is still included for backwards compatibility however eventually this plug-in will no longer be included in Unified CVP updates, so use one of the above solutions instead of using this plug-in.

audio

There is no fileset because this type will never involve the playing of pre-recorded audio files. Every Say It Smart plug-in, though, requires at least one fileset, so this one is simply named "none".

Audio Files

None. The data will always be rendered in TTS.
