CallFlow – now with TTS

There’s been some excitment in the office recently, reminisent of spending time in my high school Spanish classes looking up words in the dictionary I probably shouldn’t have been looking up. This excitment is about the latest CallFlow feature, text to speech.

Adding text to speech to your CallFlow app couldn’t be easier, simply adding a <text> element to either an <announcement> or <prompt> parent will read out your text. It really couldn’t be easier, but we went a little bit further than that, adding different voices and language support and also going someway to support Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

There is a lot of really interesting potential uses for this feature, and I’m looking forward to hearing about how people are using it.
